Derive the Lorentz transformation connecting a frame S (the lab frame) to a frame S' that moves with respect to S with a velocity in the ry plane. This velocity makes an angle o with the z axis of S and has speed v. In order to solve this, take the route of two successive Lorentz transformations, one along the a axis followed by one along the y axis.
