A calorie is a unit of heat (energy in transit) and it equals about \(4.2~\text{J}\) where \(1~\text{J}= 1~\text{kg-m}^2\text{s}^{-2}\)Suppose we employ a system of units in which the unit of mass equals \(\alpha~\text{kg}\) the unit of length equals \(\beta~\text{m}\), and the unit of time is \(\gamma~\text{s}\) then the magnitude of calories in terms of new units is:
1. \(4.2\alpha^{-2}\beta^{-2}\gamma^{2}\)
2. \(4.2\alpha^{2}\beta^{-2}\gamma^{2}\)
3. \(4.2\alpha^{-1}\beta^{-2}\gamma^{2}\)
4. 
\(4.2\alpha^{-1}\beta^{2}\gamma^{-2}\)
