Imagine that a relativistic train travels past your lecture room at a speed of 0.887 c. The passengers of the train claim that when they measure the length of the train using standard meter bars found on the train, the length comes out to be 85.8 m.
What would be the length of the train in the frame of the lecture room if you measured it?
3.96×101 m

Need help on 2nd part
How long would a regular 50 minute long class in the lecture room last for the passengers of the train if they measured it while sitting on the train?
