When the velocity (v), time (T) and force (F) are chosen as base quantities. Then, mass is given by m∝vxTyFz ...(i) Using dimensional formula of all quantities, [ML0T0]=[LT−1]x[T]y[MLT−2]z [M1L0T0]=[MZLx+zT−x+y−2z] Comparing the powers of dimensions on both sides, we get z = 1 x+z=0 and −x+y−2z=0 ⇒x+1=0 ⇒x=−1 and −(−1)+y−2(1)=0 ⇒1+y−2=0 ⇒y=1 Substituting these values in Eq. (i), we get m∝v−1T1F1 ⇒m=[FTv−1]
