If $x$ is length, then define a new quantity $y \equiv x / c$ which is a time, not a length. Do the calculation in terms of $t$ and $y$, and when you're done, replace $y$ with $x/c$. This is a sane approach because: 1) there's no hand-waving nonsense about "setting constants to 1" (which is an utterly ridiculous statement in my opinion), 2) no need to follow any vague recipes like "put constants in to make the units work out", and 3) no horribly misleading need to even think about "units". | |
