# If the velocity of light $c$, gravitational constant $G$ and Planck's constant $h$ be taken as fundamental units the dimension of mass in the new system will be

$\;c^{1/2}h^{1/2}G^{-1/2}$

##### SOLUTION

$C\equiv LT^{-1}$

$G\equiv M^{-1}L^3T^{-2}$

$h\equiv M^1L^2T^{-1}$

$\Rightarrow M=\sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{hc}{G}}$

You're just one step away
