Sometimes it is convenient to construct a system of units so that all quantities can be expressed in terms of only one physical quantity. In one such system, dimensions of different quantities are given in terms of a quantity XX as follows: [position] = [Xα][X^\alpha] ; [speed] = [Xβ][X^\beta] ; [acceleration] = [Xρ][X^\rho] ; [linear momentum] = [Xq][X^q] ; [force] = [Xr][X^r] . Then [Adv. 2020] (1) α+p=2β\alpha + p = 2\beta (2) p+q−r=βp + q - r = \beta (3) p−q+r=αp - q + r = \alpha (4) p+q+r=βp + q + r = \beta
