proper mean lifetime of a subnuclear par- ticle called a muon is 2 μs. Muons in a beam are traveling at 0.829c relative to a labora- tory. The speed of light is 2.998 × 108 m/s. In the reference frame of the muon, how far does the laboratory travel in a typical lifetime of 2 μs? Answer in units of m.
