Determine the length of the escape pod

Reference no: EM13678602

The crew of a rocket that is moving away from the earth launches an escape pod, which they measure to be 50 meter long. The pod is launched toward the earth with a speed of 0.55c relative to the rocket. After the launch, the rocket's speed relative to the earth is 0.85c. Determine the length of the escape pod as determined by an observer on earth?
