A famous relation in physics relates moving mass m with the rest mass m_(0) of a particle in terms of its speed v and the speed of light c. This relation first arose as a consequence of special relativity by Albert Einstein. A boy recalls the relation almost correctly but forgets where to put the constant c. He writes : m=(m_(0))/((1-v^(2))^(1//2)). Guess where to put the missing c.
