Suppose the length of the barn is 10m, and the length of the
pole is also 10m when at rest in the barn.
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"?
