The formula for length contraction gives the length of an interval on a ruler moving with velocity v relative to an observer as  L' = L    1 −  v2 c2 where L is the length of the same interval on a ruler at rest with respect to the observer. By what fraction is the length of a meter stick reduced if its velocity relative to you is measured to be 52 percent of the speed of light? L − L' L
