What is the length of the escape pod

Reference no: EM13516610

The crew of a rocket that is moving away from the earth launches an escape pod, which they measure to be 55 m long. The pod is launched toward the earth with a speed of 0.50c relative to the rocket. After the launch, the rocket's speed relative to the earth is 0.75c. What is the length of the escape pod as determined by an observer on earth?
