Q2.3:
A calorie is a unit of heat (energy in transit) and it equals about 4.2 J where 1J = 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, the unit of time is $\gamma$ s. Show that a calorie has a magnitude 4.2 $\alpha^{–1} \beta^{–2} \gamma^2$ in terms of the new units.
Solution :
Step 1: Dimensional Analysis of Energy
The physical quantity in question is energy (heat). The dimensions of energy are derived from the formula $E = \text{force} \times \text{displacement} = \text{mass} \times \text{acceleration} \times \text{displacement}$.
Dimensional formula: $[M^1 L^2 T^{-2}]$
[Per the principle of dimensional homogeneity, any energy value $E$ can be expressed as $M^a L^b T^c$, where $a=1, b=2, c=-2$.]
Step 2: Defining the Two Systems of Units
Let the two systems be System 1 (SI) and System 2 (New System).
- System 1 (SI): Mass $M_1 = 1\text{ kg}$, Length $L_1 = 1\text{ m}$, Time $T_1 = 1\text{ s}$.
- System 2 (New): Mass $M_2 = \alpha\text{ kg}$, Length $L_2 = \beta\text{ m}$, Time $T_2 = \gamma\text{ s}$.
Step 3: Applying the Conversion Formula
The magnitude of a physical quantity remains constant across systems: $n_1 u_1 = n_2 u_2$.
Therefore, $n_2 = n_1 \left( \frac{M_1}{M_2} \right)^a \left( \frac{L_1}{L_2} \right)^b \left( \frac{T_1}{T_2} \right)^c$.
[By the conversion property of physical quantities.]
Step 4: Algebraic Substitution
Given $n_1 = 4.2$ (the value of 1 calorie in Joules), substitute the values into the formula:
$n_2 = 4.2 \left( \frac{1\text{ kg}}{\alpha\text{ kg}} \right)^1 \left( \frac{1\text{ m}}{\beta\text{ m}} \right)^2 \left( \frac{1\text{ s}}{\gamma\text{ s}} \right)^{-2}$
Step 5: Simplification
Process the exponents:
$n_2 = 4.2 \cdot (\alpha)^{-1} \cdot (\beta)^{-2} \cdot (\gamma)^{-(-2)}$
$n_2 = 4.2 \cdot \alpha^{-1} \cdot \beta^{-2} \cdot \gamma^2$
Visual Representation of Dimensional Scaling
Final Solution: The magnitude of a calorie in the new system of units is $4.2 \alpha^{-1} \beta^{-2} \gamma^2$.

- Q2.19: The principle of ‘parallax’ in section 2.3.1 is used in the determination of distances of very distant stars. The baseline AB is the line joining the Earth’s two locations six months apart in its orbit around the Sun. That is, the baseline is about the diameter of the Earth’s orbit (\approx 3 \times 10^{11}m). However, even the nearest stars are so distant that with such a long baseline, they show parallax only of the order of 1” (second) of arc or so. A parsec is a convenient unit of length on the astronomical scale. It is the distance of an object that will show a parallax of 1” (second of arc) from opposite ends of a baseline equal to the distance from the Earth to the Sun. How much is a parsec in terms of metres ?

I work with BCom/BSc students and CA aspirants, helping them build strong conceptual clarity and practical understanding. Teaching is my passion and hobby, and I focus on delivering quality education by maintaining small group sizes (2–3 students at a time). This allows me to give individual attention, ensuring that every student understands the concepts thoroughly and gains confidence. My teaching approach is practical-based, designed to bridge the gap between academic theories and real-world industry applications. I emphasize how concepts are applied in actual business environments—both in private and public sectors—so students can connect textbook knowledge to real scenarios. I prefer conducting online, individual sessions to provide personalized support and address each student’s learning style and pace. I teach using a whiteboard for clear and visual explanations. For CA students, I recommend specific books aligned with the syllabus. For Class 11 and 12, I rely on their existing school books but provide additional notes or references on request to avoid overloading them. While I haven't pursued awards in teaching, the positive feedback from my students and their academic success bring me immense satisfaction. My goal is to make learning effective, relevant, and engaging for every student I teach.

I’m really thankful to my TTN accounts teacher for the way they teach. Accounts can feel confusing at times, but the way every topic is explained so clearly makes it much easier to understand. They always start from the basics and make sure everyone is on the same page before moving ahead. Doubts are never ignored, and the examples given in class actually help things make sense. Because of their teaching, my confidence in accounts has improved a lot. It honestly feels easier and less stressful to study the subject now.
