Problem 7: A very large sheet of very long wires lie parallel to the y-z plane with the current coming out of the page (z direction). Only a very small portion of the wires are shown. There are 500 wires each carrying current I spread over a distance of 200D in the y direction. Two frames located with their left edge a distance 2D from the sheet. The dimensions of the frames are 3D x D. The top frame lies parallel to the x-z plane and the bottom is parallel to the x-y plane.

a. Calculate the interval ∆s 2 between two events with coordinates (x1 = 50 m, y1 = 0, z1 = 0, t1 = 1 µs) and (x2 = 120 m, y2 = 0, z2 = 0, t2 = 1.2 µs) in an inertial frame S. b.

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?
The muon is an unstable particle that spontaneously decays into an electron and two neutrinos.

Albert Einstein is pondering how to write his (soonto-be-famous) equation. He knows that energy E is a function of mass m and the speed of light c, but he doesn't know the functional relationship (E = m2c? E = mc4?). Pretend that Albert knows nothing about dimensional analysis, but since you are taking a fluid mechanics class, you help Albert come up with his equation. Use the step-by-step method of repeating variables to generate a dimensionless relationship between these parameters, showing all of your work. Compare this to Einstein's famous equation—does dimensional analysis give you the correct form of the equation?
