Planck's constant h , speed of light c and gravitational constant G are used to form a unit of length L and a unit of mass M . Then the correct option(s) is (are)
  1. Mc
  2. MG
  3. Lh
  4. LG

Solution

h=ML2T-1
c=LT-1
G=M-1L3T-2
For unit of length
Let LhxcyGz
From principle of homogeneity
LHS=RHS
M0LT0=ML2T-1xLT-1y M-1L3T-2z
M0LT0=Mx-z  L2x+y+3z  T-x-y-2z
Comparing we get
x-z=0
2x+y+3z=1
-x-y-2z=0
Solving we get, x=12, y=-32, z=12
L=hGc3
For unit of mass
Let MhxcyGz
Solving in similar manner as above
We get x=12, y=12, z=-12
M=hcG
