When at rest in the Earth reference frame, the delta-wing spaceship in Figure P14.43 is (7.00 mathrm{~m})

Question:

When at rest in the Earth reference frame, the delta-wing spaceship in Figure P14.43 is \(7.00 \mathrm{~m}\) long and has a wingspan of \(8.00 \mathrm{~m}\).

(a) What is the opening angle \(\alpha\) of its wings? 

\((b)\) If the same ship is moving forward at \(0.700 c_{0}\) relative to Earth, what does an observer on Earth measure for the plane length, wingspan, and opening angle \(\alpha\) ?
