The efficiency of an engine is given by $\eta=\frac{\alpha \beta}{\sin \theta} \cdot \log _e \frac{\beta x}{k T}$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants. If $T$ is the absolute temperature, $k$ is Boltzmann constant, $\theta$ is angular displacement and $x$ is distance, then the incorrect statement is
Velocities $(v)$ and accelerations (a) in two systems of units 1 and 2 are related as $v_2=\frac{n}{m^2} v_1$ and $a_2=\frac{a_1}{m n}$ respectively. Here $m$ and $n$ are constants.
