Primitive dimensions are Mass, Length, and Time (kilograms, meters, and seconds

Question

Primitive dimensions are Mass, Length, and Time (kilograms, meters, and seconds or kg, m, and s). One of Albert Einstein's most famous results is the formula E " me^2, where E is the energy content of the mass m, and c is the speed of light. What are the primitive dimensions of E? A length L that appears in atomic physics is given by the formula L = h/mc, where m is the mass of an electron, c is the speed of light, and h is a constant known as Planck's constant. Determine the primitive dimensions of h?

Explanation / Answer

The primitive dimensions of E are kg m^2/s^2

The primitive dimensions of h are kg m^2/s

Here the dimensions are derived from formula
