Dimensions of Mass in New System
Given Fundamental Units:
- Velocity of light (c)
- Gravitational constant (g)
- Planck's constant (h)
Step 1: Determining Dimensions of Fundamental Units
- Velocity of light (c): [L][T]^-1
- Gravitational constant (g): [L]^3 [M]^-1 [T]^-2
- Planck's constant (h): [L]^2 [M] [T]^-1
Step 2: Forming Dimensional Equations for Mass
- Mass (M) can be represented as a combination of fundamental units:
M = [c]^a [g]^b [h]^c
- Equating dimensions on both sides:
[M] = [L]^a [T]^-a [L]^(3b) [M]^(-b) [T]^(-2b) [L]^(2c) [M]^c [T]^(-c)
Step 3: Solving for Dimensions of Mass
- Equating exponents of similar dimensions:
a + b + 2c = 0 (for [L])
-b + c = 0 (for [M])
-a - 2b - c = 0 (for [T])
Step 4: Solving the System of Equations
- Solving the above system of equations, we get:
a = -1, b = -1, c = -1
Step 5: Final Dimensional Equation for Mass
- Substituting the values of a, b, and c in the dimensional equation for mass:
[M] = [T]^-1
Therefore, in the new system with velocity of light, gravitational constant, and Planck's constant as fundamental units, the dimension of mass is [T]^-1.
