A support crossbeam on a high speed train is made from a titanium rod that has a length of 0.650m when measured by an observer on the train. The beam is positioned such that the observer on the train measures an angle of 39degrees between the crossbeam and the floor of the train. (Figure 1) At what speed u would the train have to be traveling in order for an observer standing outside the train to measure the angle as 83degrees ? In the figure, S indicates the reference frame of the observer standing outside the train and S' indicates the reference frame of the observer on the train.

The beam has two dimensions: a height that is perpendicular to the floor of the train and a width that is parallel to the floor of the train. The angle between the beam and the floor appears different as measured by observers on the moving train and on the platform for which of the following reasons?

A. The crossbeam is moving relative to the observer on the platform so the height appears contracted.
B. The crossbeam is moving relative to the observer on the platform so the width appears contracted.
C. The crossbeam is moving relative to the observer on the train so the width appears contracted.
D. The crossbeam is moving relative to the observer on the train so the height appears contracted.

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
