Length Contraction: The figure shows a right-angled construction frame ABC. When measured at rest, it has dimensions as follows: AB = 26.0 m, AC = 10.0 m, and BC = 24.0 m. This frame is now given a new velocity of 0.760c, relative to Earth, in a direction parallel to AC. How long is part AC of this frame with the new velocity as measured by Earth-based engineers?
A. 6.50 m
B. 25.4 m
C. 24.3 m
D. 23.7 m
E. 24.9 m
