The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze how the changes in the units of mass (M) and length (L) affect the unit of energy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the dimensions of energy**: Energy (E) can be expressed in terms of mass (M), length (L), and time (T). The dimensional formula for energy is: \[ [E] = [M]^1 [L]^2 [T]^{-2} \] 2. **Define the new units**: If the units of mass and length are increased three times, we can express the new units as: \[ M' = 3M \quad \text{and} \quad L' = 3L \] The unit of time remains unchanged, so: \[ T' = T \] 3. **Substitute the new units into the energy formula**: Now, we substitute the new values of mass and length into the energy formula: \[ E' = (M')^1 (L')^2 (T')^{-2} \] Substituting the new values gives: \[ E' = (3M)^1 (3L)^2 (T)^{-2} \] 4. **Calculate the new energy**: Expanding this expression: \[ E' = 3M \cdot (3^2 L^2) \cdot (T^{-2}) = 3M \cdot 9L^2 \cdot (T^{-2}) = 27 \cdot (M^1 L^2 T^{-2}) \] Thus, we can express the new energy in terms of the original energy: \[ E' = 27E \] 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, if the units of mass and length are increased three times, the unit of energy will be increased by a factor of 27. ### Final Answer: The unit of energy will be increased by **27 times**.
