Special Relativity: Length Contraction

Classical Mechanics Level 1

Jealous of a Prussian lab's work concerning $\text{ time dilation }$ an Irish-Sephardic consortium jointly publishes their findings into $\text{ length contraction }$ of alloy rods. Using the formula: $L_{obs} = L \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}$ determine the contracted length observed ( $L_{obs}$ ) by the consortium when a copper-tin rod of uncontracted length ( $L$ ) of $67 \text{ inches }$ was accelerated to a velocity ( $v$ ) of $0.50c$ .
