A calorie is a unit of heat or energy and it equals about 4.2 J where 1J = 1 kg m2s–2. Suppose we employ a system of units in which the unit of mass equals α kg, the unit of length equals β m, the unit of time is γ s. Show that a calorie has a magnitude 4.2 α–1 β–2 γ2 in terms of the new units.

उत्तर १
Given that,
1 calorie = 4.2 (1 kg) (1 m2) (1 s–2)
New unit of mass = α kg
Hence, in terms of the new unit, 1 kg =`1/alpha = a^(-1)`
In terms of the new unit of length,
`1m = 1/beta = beta^(-1) or 1m^2 = beta^(-2)`
And, in terms of the new unit of time,
`1s = 1y = y^(-1)`
`1s^2 = y^(-2)`
`1s^(-2) = y^2`
∴ 1 calorie = 4.2 (1 α–1) (1 β–2) (1 γ2) = 4.2 α–1 β–2 γ2

`n_2=n_1u_1/u_2=n_1([M_1^aL_1^bT_1^c])/([M_2^aL_2^bT_2^c])`
= n1 `[M_1/M_2]^a[L_1/L_2]^b[T_1/T_2]^c`
1 cal = 4.2 kg m2 s-2 ∴ a = 1, b = 2, c = -2
| SI | New System |
| `n_1 = 4.2` | `n_2 = ?` |
| `M_1 = 1 kg` | `M_2 = alpha kg` |
| `L_1 = 1m` | `L_2 = beta m` |
| `T_1 = 1 s` | `T_2 = y "second"` |
Now, n2 `=4.2[(1kg)/(alphakg)]^1[(1m)/(betam)]^2[(1s)/(gammas)]^(-2)`
`n_2 = 4.2 alpha^(-1) beta^(-2) gamma^2`
∴ 1 cal = `4.2 alpha^(-1) beta^(-2) gamma^2` in new system

Explain this common observation clearly : If you look out of the window of a fast moving train, the nearby trees, houses, etc. seem to move rapidly in a direction opposite to the train’s motion, but the distant objects (hill tops, the Moon, the stars etc.) seem to be stationary. (In fact, since you are aware that you are moving, these distant objects seem to move with you).

Einstein’s mass-energy relation emerging out of his famous theory of relativity relates mass (m ) to energy (E ) as E = mc2, where c is speed of light in vacuum. At the nuclear level, the magnitudes of energy are very small. The energy at nuclear level is usually measured in MeV, where 1 MeV= 1.6 × 10–13 J; the masses are measured in unified atomic mass unit (u) where 1u = 1.67 × 10–27 kg.

- A student writes the relation as 1 u = 931.5 MeV. The teacher points out that the relation is dimensionally incorrect. Write the correct relation.
