Bullwinkle in reference frame S' passes you in reference frame S along the common direction of the x' and r axes, as in Figure. He carries three meter sticks: meter stick 1 is parallel to the x' axis, meter stick 2 is parallel to the y' axis and meter stick 3 is parallel to the z' axis. On his wristwatch he counts off 15.0 s, which takes 30.0 s according to you. Two events occur during his passage. According to you, event 1 occurs at x1 = 33.0m and t1 = 22.0 ns, and event 2 occurs at x2 = 53.0 m and t2 = 62.0 ns. According to your measurements, what is the length of

(a) Meter stick 1,

(b) Meter stick 2, and

(c) Meter stick 3? According to Bullwinkle, what are?
