This problem is a measurement problem much like the previous one, where
the moving object is measured to be half as long as its rest length,
that is
but we know that lengths are measured shorted by exactly
, so
we must have
. The corresponding
is then given by
Next, since moving clocks are judged to run more slowly by the factor
(see problem 4), the clock here runs slower by
,
that is, half as fast.
