Can the relativistic change in the scales of length and time be considered the result of the action of certain forces?

A study is made of the possibility of considering the kinematic effects of the special theory of relativity--the contraction of length of moving bodies and the retardation of the rate of moving clocks--as the result of the action of the forces which hold the body in static equilibrium or which accelerate it during its transfer to another coordinate system. A number of illustrative examples are given.
