Answer:

From the question we are told that

  The length of the rod is  L_o

    The  speed is  v  

     The angle made by the rod is  \theta

     

Generally the x-component of the rod's length is  

     L_x =  L_o cos (\theta )

Generally the length of the rod along the x-axis  as seen by the observer, is mathematically defined by the theory of  relativity as

       L_xo  =  L_x  \sqrt{1  - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

=>     L_xo  =  [L_o cos (\theta )]  \sqrt{1  - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

Generally the y-component of the rods length  is mathematically represented as

      L_y  =  L_o  sin (\theta)

Generally the length of the rod along the y-axis  as seen by the observer, is   also equivalent to the actual  length of the rod along the y-axis i.e L_y

    Generally the resultant length of the rod as seen by the observer is mathematically represented as

     L_r  =  \sqrt{ L_{xo} ^2 + L_y^2}

=>  L_r  = \sqrt{[ (L_o cos(\theta) [\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }\ \ ]^2+ L_o sin(\theta )^2)}

=>  L_r= \sqrt{ (L_o cos(\theta)^2 * [ \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } ]^2 + (L_o sin(\theta))^2}

=>   L_r  = \sqrt{(L_o cos(\theta) ^2 [1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} ] +(L_o sin(\theta))^2}

=> L_r =  \sqrt{L_o^2 * cos^2(\theta)  [1 - \frac{v^2 }{c^2} ]+ L_o^2 * sin(\theta)^2}

=> L_r  =  \sqrt{ [cos^2\theta +sin^2\theta ]- \frac{v^2 }{c^2}cos^2 \theta }

=> L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }

Hence the length of the rod as measured by a stationary observer is

       L_r = L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }

   Generally the angle made is mathematically represented

tan(\theta) =  \frac{L_y}{L_x}

=>  tan {\theta } =  \frac{L_o sin(\theta )}{ (L_o cos(\theta ))\sqrt{ 1 -\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

=> tan(\theta ) =  \frac{tan\theta}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

Anestetic [448]
I think the correct answer is the third statement, electron from escaping from the tube containing the triode. The negative charge on the grid repels any electron in the tube. As a result,the flow of current is controlled. If the field is that strong, all current flow will stop resulting to maintaining the electron cloud in the tube.

Why does fluid pressure exist?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Fluid pressure from gravity is the weight of the fluid above divided by the area it is pushing on. Fluid pressure applies in all directions. Internal pressure of an object equals the external fluid pressure, otherwise the object could be crushed. Wind and heating can also create pressure.
