if dimensions of length are expressed as gx cy hz where g,c and h are the universal gravitational costant, speed of light and planck`s constant respectively. what is the value of x,y and z?
Dimensions of Length = M0L1T0
.
Gravitational constant = M-1L3T-2
.
Speed of light = M0L1T-1
.
Plancks constant = M1L2T-1
.
.
Putting them in the equations:-
M0L1T0 = (M-1L3T-2)X * (M0L1T-1)y * (M1L2T-1)Z
.
= M-x * L3x * T-2x * M0 * Ly * T-y * Mz * L2z * T-z
.
= M-x * M0 * Mz * Ly * L3x * L2z * T-2x * T-y * T-z
.
= Mz-x * L3x+2y + 2z * T -(2x+y+z)
.
Therefore equating the respective squares.
1) M0 = Mz-x
Hence z-x = 0 ; X=Z........... 1
.
2) L1 = L3x+2y + 2z
Hence 3x+2y+2z = 1
FROM 1 :- 3z + 2z + 2y = 1
5z + 2y = 1
y = (1 - 5z) / 2 .................. 2
.
3) T0 = T -(2x+y+z)
Hence 2x + y + z = 0
Replacing values of X and Y from 1 and 2 :-
2z + (1-5z)/2 + z = 0
3z + (1-5z)/2 = 0
(6z + 1 - 5z) / 2 = 0
z + 1 = 0
Z = -1
Therefore X = -1
And Y = [1-5(-1)] /2 = 3
