Question 1
The figure shows a right-angled construction frame ABC. When measured at rest, it has dimensions as follows: AB = 18.9 m, AC = 10.0 m, and BC = 16.0 m. This frame is now given a new velocity of 0.420c, relative to Earth, in a direction parallel to AC. How long is part BC of this frame with the new velocity as measured by Earth-based engineers?Question 2
The figure shows a right-angled construction frame ABC. When measured at rest, it has dimensions as follows: AB = 26.0 m, AC = 10.0 m, and BC = 24.0 m. This frame is now given a new velocity of 0.760c, relative to Earth, in a direction parallel to AC. How long is part AC of this frame with the new velocity as measured by Earth-based engineers?Answer 1
16.0 mAnswer 2
6.50 m
