Answer:
the angle the ladder makes with the floor as seen by an observer on Earth is 71.9°
Explanation:
Given the data in the question and as illustrated in the diagram below.
speed of the ship v = 0.90c
base of the ladder from the wall x₀ = 3.0 m
top of the later above the floor y = 4.0 m
we determine angle θ.
from the diagram,
tanθ = y/x₀
tanθ = y / x₀√( 1 - v²/c² )
we substitute
tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - ((0.9c)²/c²) )
tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - ((0.9²)c²/c²) )
tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - (0.9²) )
tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - 0.81 )
tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√0.19
tanθ = 4.0 / 1.30766968
tanθ = 3.058876
θ = tan⁻¹( 3.058876 )
θ = 71.8965 ≈ 71.9°
Therefore, the angle the ladder makes with the floor as seen by an observer on Earth is 71.9°
