The relativity help document is under the toolkit below.
Also, here is a video on typing in the velocity equation onto a calculator for Day 2 problem 2.
L = 35
Lo = 82
and, of course, c = 3X10^8

This formula can help you solve for velocity when given both T's or both L's.
The math behind finding the formula, which is what you're doing every time you solve by hand for velocity.

Here are a few (#2,4,5,7,8,9) worked out problems from the physics textbook, as well as Adrian's Master Equation (which is just the L = Lo/gamma equation that Pitman gave us on the worksheet but clarified and renamed). Fear not!
