What does the clock in the tail read


A rocket of rest length 1000 meters moves with respect to us at v = 3/5c. There are two clocks on the ship, one in the nose and one in the tail, which have been synchronized with each other. We on the ground have a number of clocks, also synchronized with each other. Just as the nose of the ship reaches us, both our clocks and the clock in the nose of the ship read t=0.

a) At this time t=0(to us), what does the clock in the tail of the ship read?

b) How long does it take for the tail of the ship to reach us?

c) At this time, when the tail of the ship is beside us, what does the clock in the tail read?

d) What does the clock in the nose read?
