Homework Statement
3 clocks at to
A clock on Earth
B clock above Earth 4.66 * 1014 meters
C clock above Earth 3.30 * 1013 meters
B accelerates to .6 c and arrives at Earth when Earth clock reads 2.6 *106 sec
= 30 days With velocity 1.8 *10^8 m/sec with gamma = .8 B clock reads 2.07 * 10^6 sec = 24 days
C clock travels to Earth with constant acceleration in respect to Earth frame of 9.81 m/sec2
and arrives at the same time as B . C clock velocity 2.5 * 10^7 m/sec
What is the proper time on Clock C ?
Homework Equations
Integral to to 2.6 * 106 sec. sqrt [ 1-v(t)2/c2] dt
So Int to to t1 sqrt [ 1-1.01*10-15t2] dt
The Attempt at a Solution
I put Sqrt{1-ax2] in The Integratorand plugged in values and got 15 days proper time on C clock ?
