Suppose the primed and laboratory observers want to measure the length of a rod that rests on the ground horizontally in the space between the helicopter and the tower (Fig. 39.8B). To derive the length transformation L = L (Eq. 39.5), we had to assume that the positions of the two ends were determined simultaneously. What happens to the length transformation equation if both observers measure the end below the helicopter at one time t1 and the other end at a later time t2?

You have been hired by the defense attorney as an expert witness in a lawsuit. The plaintiff is someone who just returned from being a passenger on the first orbital space tourist flight. Based on a travel brochure offered by the space travel company, the plaintiff expected to be able to see the Great Wall of China from his orbital height of 200 km above the Earth’s surface. He was unable to do so, and is now demanding that his fare be refunded and to receive additional financial compensation to cover his great disappointment. Construct the basis for an argument for the defense that shows that his expectation of seeing the Great Wall from orbit was unreasonable. The Wall is 7 m wide at its widest point and the normal visual acuity of the human eye is 3 x 10-4 rad. (Visual acuity is the smallestsubtended angle that an object can make at the eye and still be recognized; the subtended angle in radians is the ratio of the width of an object to the distance of the object from your eyes.)

It’s a sunny Saturday afternoon and you are walking around the lake by your house, enjoying the last few days of summer. The sidewalk surrounding the perimeter of the circular lake is crowded with walkers and runners. You then notice a runner approaching you wearing a T-shirt with writing on it. You read the first two lines, but are unable to read the third line before he passes. You wonder, ”Hmmm, if he continues around the lake, I bet I’ll see him again but I should anticipate the time when we’ll pass again.” You look at your watch and it is 5:07pm. You estimate your walking speed at 3 m/s and the runner’s speed to be about 14 m/s. You also estimate that the diameter of the lake is about 2 miles. At what time should you expect to read the last line of the t-shirt?

Events 1 and 2 are exploding firecrackers that each emit light pulses. In the reference frame of the detector, event 1 leaves a char mark at a distance 3.40 m from the detector, and event 2 leaves a similar mark at a distance 2.10 m from the detector. If the two events are simultaneous in the reference frame of the detector and occur at instant t = 0, at what instant of time will each light pulse be detected?
