Step 1. Dimensional formulas: [h]=[ML2T−1][h]=[ML^2T^{-1}], [G]=[M−1L3T−2][G]=[M^{-1}L^3T^{-2}], [c]=[LT−1][c]=[LT^{-1}].

Step 2. [hG]=[ML2T−1][M−1L3T−2]=[M0L5T−3][hG]=[ML^2T^{-1}][M^{-1}L^3T^{-2}]=[M^0L^5T^{-3}].

Step 3. [c3]=[L3T−3][c^3]=[L^3T^{-3}], so [hGc3]=[L5T−3][L3T−3]=[L2]\left[\dfrac{hG}{c^3}\right]=\dfrac{[L^5T^{-3}]}{[L^3T^{-3}]}=[L^2]. …
