Questions  

The speed of light (c), gravitational constant (G) and Planck's constant (h) are taken as the fundamental units  in a system. The dimension of time in this system is:

a
G1/2h1/2c−5/2
b
G−1/2h1/2c1/2
c
G1/2h1/2c−3/2
d
G1/2h1/2c1/2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Time ∝cxGyhz⇒T=kcxGyhzPutting the dimensions in the above relation⇒ M0L0T1=LT−1xM−1L3T−2yML2T−1z⇒ M0L0T1=M-y+zLx+3y+2zT−x−2y−zComparing the powers of M, L and T−y+z=0        ...........(i)x+3y+2z=0 ...........(ii)−x−2y−z=1 ..........(iii)On solving equations (i) and (ii) and (iii)x=−52,y=z=12Hence dimension of time are G1/2h1/2c−5/2
