If the following equation is dimensionally homogeneous, find the dimensions of the
physical quantity K indicated in the system of fundamental physical quantities:
Length, Mass and Time.
Ep -G

K
where Ep is the gravitational potential energy (same units as the kinetic energy
E mv²/2), M and m are the mass of the earth and the mass of the body, respectively,
and G is the universal gravitation constant

Thermal conductivity k is a measure of the ability of a material to conduct heat. For conduction heat transfer in the x-direction through a surface normal to the x-direction, Fourier’s law of heat conduction is expressed as: Q=-kA.dT/dx
where ?̇ is the rate of heat transfer and A is the area normal to the direction of heat transfer. Determine the primary dimensions of thermal conductivity (k). Look up a value of k and verify that its SI units are consistent with your result. Write a set of primary SI units for k.
