Physics

# The quantity/ quantities that does/do not have mass in its/their dimensions is/are :

specific heat

latent heat

##### SOLUTION
Specific heat is the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of 1kg mass by an amount 1kelvin. So it has dimension free from mass.
And latent heat is the heat needed to convert unit mass of object from one state to other. So it also does not contain mass.

You're just one step away

Q1 Subjective Medium
The cubic is an ancient unit of length based on the distance between that elbow and the tip of the middle finger of the measurer. Assume that the distance ranged from $43$ to $53\ cm$, and suppose that ancient drawings indicate that a cylindrical pillar was to have a length of $9$ cubits and a diameter of $2$ cubits. For the state range, what are the lower value and the upper value, respectively for
the cylinder length in meters
