Options:
  • A \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{o}}\)
  • B \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{o}}\)
  • C \(2 \mathrm{~m}_0\)
  • D \(\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{o}}\)

The correct answer is: \(2 \mathrm{~m}_0\)
\(\mathrm{m}=\frac{\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{o}}}{\left(1-\frac{\mathrm{v}^2}{\mathrm{c}^2}\right)^{1 / 2}}=\frac{\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{o}}}{(1-3 / 4)^{1 / 2}}=2 \mathrm{~m}_0\)
