Length contraction in relativity


Assignment:

As the drawing shows, a carpenter on a space station has constructed a 30.0 degree ramp. A rocket moves past the space station with a relative speed of 0.73c in a direction parallel to side y. After a while the same rocket moves past the space station with the same relative speed of 0.73c but in a direction parallel to side x. What does a person aboard the rocket measure for the angle of the ramp in the two cases?
