$A$ calorie is a unit of heat or energy and it equals about $4.2 \; J$ where $1 \; J = 1 \; kg \; m^2 \; s^{-2}$. Suppose we employ a system of units in which the unit of mass equals $\alpha \; kg$, the unit of length equals $\beta \; m$, and the unit of time equals $\gamma \; s$. Show that a calorie has a magnitude $4.2 \; \alpha^{-1} \beta^{-2} \gamma^2$ in terms of the new units.

Consider a simple pendulum,having a bob attached to a string,that oscillates under the action of the force of gravity. Suppose that the period of oscillation of the simple pendulum depends on its length $(l)$,mass of the bob $(m)$,and acceleration due to gravity $(g)$. Derive the expression for its time period using the method of dimensions.

The time dependence of a physical quantity $P$ is given by $P = P_0 e^{-\alpha t^2}$,where $\alpha$ is a constant and $t$ is the time. Then the constant $\alpha$ has:
