Question:

Suppose that an event occurs in inertial frame S with coordinates x = 75 m, y = 18 m, z = 4.0 m at t = 2.0 x 105 s. The inertial frame S' moves in the + x direction with v = 0.85c. The origins of S and S' coincided at t = t' = 0. 

(a) What are the coordinates of the event in S'? 

(b) Use the inverse transformation on the results of (a) to obtain the original coordinates.
