The calorie is a unit of heat or energy ...

The calorie is a unit of heat or energy and it equals about 4.2 J where `1J=1kgm^(2)s^(-2)`. Suppose we employ a system of units in which the unit of mass equals `alpha` kg, the unit of length equals `beta` m and the unit of time is`gamma` s. Show that the calorie has a magnitude of `4.2alpha^(-1) beta^(-2) gamma^(2)` in terms of the new units.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to express the calorie in terms of a new system of units defined by mass, length, and time. The steps are as follows: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that: - 1 calorie = 4.2 joules - 1 joule = 1 kg·m²/s² ### Step 2: Write the dimensional formula for energy ...
