[QUOTE="dcarmichael, post: 6237601, member: 667026"] [B]Homework Statement:[/B] 7. A meter stick is moving with speed 0.8c relative to a frame S . (a) What is the stick’s length, as measured by observers in S , if the stick is parallel to its velocity v ? (b) What if the stick is perpendicular to v ? (c) What if the stick is at 60 to v , as seen in the stick’s rest frame? [Hint: You can imagine that the meter stick is the hypotenuse of a 30-60-90 right triangle] (d) What if the stick is at 60 to v , as measured in S ? I believe i have solved a-c , but cant figure out d, looking suggestions? [B]Relevant Equations:[/B] L=Lo*sqrt (1-β^2) told to use this equation and not lorentz transformation for this problem [ATTACH type="full"]250054[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
