special relativity - Time dilation and Lorentz transformation


I have trouble understanding the Lorentz transformation to proof the dilation of time.


If I use:


dt=dt(1(v2/c2))


Understanding that S is the moving frame of reference.


We can see that the square root in the denominator is smaller when vc and we get that if vc then dtinf... something different to the expected result that time goes slower in S'.


What am I doing wrong?


Many thanks in advance.

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
