A way to measure the length of an object moving at known(relativistic) speed is to measure the interval between the passage of referencepoints past an observer. By considering the times at which the leading and trailling ends of a moving rod pass an observer, and applying Lorentz transformations,show that the same expression for length contraction as : L=yo-1L' is obtained,draw a spacetime diagram if needed
