Answer

$t = 3.94\times 10^{-7}~s$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the length of the spaceship as measured by the timing station is $87.4~m$ We can find the time interval recorded by the timing station: $t = \frac{d}{v}$ $t = \frac{87.4~m}{(0.740)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)}$ $t = 3.94\times 10^{-7}~s$
