$A$ 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.

Young-Laplace law states that the excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $R$ is given by $\Delta P = 4 \sigma / R$,where $\sigma$ is the coefficient of surface tension of the soap. The $EOTVOS$ number $E_0$ is a dimensionless number that is used to describe the shape of bubbles rising through a surrounding fluid. It is a combination of $g$ (acceleration due to gravity),$\rho$ (density of the surrounding fluid),$\sigma$ (surface tension),and a characteristic length scale $L$ (radius of the bubble). $A$ possible expression for $E_0$ is:
