Problem

In a hypothetical engineering school the following set of base units is introduced: Length   L~=20 cm\;\tilde L = 20\,\text{cm}, Mass   M~=50 g\;\tilde M = 50\,\text{g}, Time   T~=0.10 s\;\tilde T = 0.10\,\text{s}. Using these base units, answer the questions below. (a) Obtain the conversion factor between the school’s unit of force and the newton (SI). (b) A certain machine designed in the school delivers a mechanical work of 250250 "school force × school length". Convert this work into joule.
