The space and time coordinates for two events as measured in a frame S are as follows:
Event 1: x1=x0, t1=x0/c
Event 2 : x2=2x0, t1=x0/2c

(a) There exists a frame in which these events occur at the same time. Find the velocity of this frame with respect to S.

(b) What is the value of t at which both events occur in the new frame?
