    Calculating the Orientation of a Moving Rod Using Lorentz Transformations

    I was able to figure out how it would look like, and how it would be oriented. But we were offered extra credit for doing the algebra. I can't figure out how to work the algebra, or where to start.

    Calculating the Orientation of a Moving Rod Using Lorentz Transformations

    1. Problem Horizontal rod of length x traveling along the positive y-direction at velocity u. Determine the orientation of the rod in frame S', which is moving at velocity v in positive x-direction. 2. Homework Equations Lorentz Transformation for length contraction, x' =...
