Solution

Let the physical quantity be
Q = n1u1=n2u2

Let M1,L1,T1andM2,L2,T2 are units of mass , lenghth and time in given two sysytems .

So, n2=n1[M1M2]a×[L1L2]b×[T1T2]c ...................(i)

we know that dimension of energy
[U]=[ML2T2]

n2 = New sysytem of unit = ? , n1
S.I system of unit = 5 J
M2=akgM1=1kg
L2=βm,L1=1m
T2=ys,T1=1s
Therefore by putting the values in eqaution (i) we get

n2=n1[M1M2]a×[L1L2]b×[T1T2]c

n2=5[1α]×[1β]2×[1y]2

=n2 51a×1β2×1y2

=n25y2αβ2 J

Required value of energy in new system of units

Final answer is =n25y2aβ2 J
