Work Step by Step

We can find the required difference of time between the earth clock and spaceship clock as follows: $\Delta t_{Eart-spaceship }=\Delta t-\Delta t_{\circ}$ $\implies \Delta t_{Eart-spaceship }=\Delta t-\Delta t\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}=\Delta t(1-\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}) $ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\implies \Delta t_{Eart-spaceship }=30.0d(1-\sqrt{1-(\frac{8350}{3.00\times 10^8})^2})(\frac{86,400}{1d})$ $ \Delta t_{Eart-spaceship }=0.00101s=1.01ms$
