Being a barn, it is closed at one end and the door is closed as the pole enters. It will fit when at rest. Calculate the length of the pole when moving at 0.866c. xi = (x-vt)/sqrt( 1-v^2/c^2) http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Smart/x'=x-vt.gif xi = (10m)/sqrt (1-0.866^2/1^2) = (10m)/sqrt (1-0.75) = (10m)/sqrt (0.25) = (10m)/0.5 = 20m It will not fit until it is brought to a sudden stop. Your idiot drool doesn't help at all, you are a fuckwit. Why do you incompetent fuckin' lunatics call it length "contraction"?
