Sometimes it is convenient to construct a system of units so that all quantities can be expressed in terms of only one physical quantity. In one such system, dimensions of different quantities are given in terms of a quantity $X$ as follows: [position $]=\left[X^\alpha\right] ;[$ speed $]=\left[X^\beta\right]$; [acceleration $]=\left[X^{ p }\right]$; [linear momentum $]=\left[X^{ q }\right]$; [force $]=\left[X^{ I }\right]$. Then -
