The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of converting 5 Joules into the new system of units defined by `alpha kg` for mass, `beta m` for length, and `gamma s` for time, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the SI Units First, we need to recall the SI units for Joules (J). 1 Joule is defined as: \[ 1 \text{ J} = 1 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2 \] This means that in terms of dimensions, energy (Joules) can be expressed as: \[ \text{Energy} = [M^1 L^2 T^{-2}] \] where \(M\) is mass, \(L\) is length, and \(T\) is time. ### Step 2: Define the New Units In the new system: - The unit of mass is `alpha kg` (let's denote it as \(M_2 = \alpha\)) - The unit of length is `beta m` (let's denote it as \(L_2 = \beta\)) - The unit of time is `gamma s` (let's denote it as \(T_2 = \gamma\)) ### Step 3: Write the Dimensional Formula for Energy The dimensional formula for energy in terms of the new units will be: \[ N_2 = N_1 \left( \frac{L_1}{L_2} \right)^a \left( \frac{M_1}{M_2} \right)^b \left( \frac{T_1}{T_2} \right)^c \] where \(N_1\) is the energy in the original system (5 J), and \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are the powers corresponding to length, mass, and time respectively. From the dimensional formula of energy: - \(a = 2\) (for length) - \(b = 1\) (for mass) - \(c = -2\) (for time) ### Step 4: Substitute the Values Now, substituting the values into the equation: \[ N_2 = 5 \left( \frac{1}{\beta} \right)^2 \left( \frac{1}{\alpha} \right)^1 \left( \frac{1}{\gamma} \right)^{-2} \] This simplifies to: \[ N_2 = 5 \cdot \frac{1}{\beta^2} \cdot \frac{1}{\alpha} \cdot \gamma^2 \] ### Step 5: Rearranging the Equation Rearranging gives us: \[ N_2 = 5 \cdot \frac{\gamma^2}{\alpha \beta^2} \] ### Final Expression Thus, the expression for 5 Joules in the new system of units is: \[ N_2 = 5 \alpha^{-1} \beta^{-2} \gamma^2 \] ### Conclusion The final answer is: \[ N_2 = 5 \alpha^{-1} \beta^{-2} \gamma^2 \]
