Einstein’s mass-energy relation emerging out of his famous theory of relativity relates mass $(m)$ to energy $(E)$ as $E = mc^2$, 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 $1\,MeV = 1.6\times 10^{-13}\,J$ ; the masses are measured i unified atomicm mass unit (u) where, $1\,u = 1.67 \times 10^{-27}\, kg$
$(a)$ Show that the energy equivalent of $1\,u$ is $ 931.5\, MeV$.
$(b)$ 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.
$(a)$ We know that,
$1 \mathrm{amu}= 1 u=1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$
$\text { Applying } \mathrm{E}=m c^{2}$
$\text { Energy } =\mathrm{E}=\left(1.67 \times 10^{-27}\right)\left(3 \times 10^{8}\right)^{2} \mathrm{~J}$
$ 1.67 \times 9 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~J}$
$\mathrm{E} =\frac{1.67 \times 9 \times 10^{-11}}{1.6 \times 10^{-13}} \mathrm{MeV}$
$=939.4 \mathrm{MeV} \approx 931.5 \mathrm{MeV}$
$(b)$ The dimensionally correct relation is, $1 \mathrm{amu} \times c^{2}=1 u \times c^{2}=931.5 \mathrm{MeV}$
A dimensionless quantity is constructed in terms of electronic charge $e$, permittivity of free space $\varepsilon_0$, Planck's constant $h$, and speed of light $c$. If the dimensionless quantity is written as $e^\alpha \varepsilon_0^\beta h^7 c^5$ and $n$ is a non-zero integer, then $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta)$ is given by
The amount of heat energy $Q$, used to heat up a substance depends on its mass $m$, its specific heat capacity $(s)$ and the change in temperature $\Delta T$ of the substance. Using dimensional method, find the expression for $s$ is (Given that $\left.[s]=\left[ L ^2 T ^{-2} K ^{-1}\right]\right)$ is

In the relation $y = a\cos (\omega t - kx)$, the dimensional formula for $k$ is
A spherical body of mass $m$ and radius $r$ is allowed to fall in a medium of viscosity $\eta $. The time in which the velocity of the body increases from zero to $0.63$ times the terminal velocity $(v)$ is called time constant $(\tau )$. Dimensionally $\tau $ can be represented by
