Question:

A rod is to move at constant speed u along the x axis of reference frame S, with the rod's length parallel to that axis. An observer in frame S is to measure the length L of, the rod. Figure gives length L versus speed parameter B for a range of values for β. The vertical axis scale is set by La = 1.00 m. What is L if v = 0.95c?
