With what velocity (relative to the reference frame K) did the clock move, if during the time interval t=5.0s, measured by the clock of the frame K, it became slow by Δt=0.10s?

Solution
Because of time dilation, a moving clock reads less time. We write, t−Δt=t√1−β2, β=vc Thus, 1−2Δtt+(Δtt)2=1−β2 or, v=c√Δtt(2−Δtt)
