Question 61
A 200 m long train is running at a speed of 100 km/h. In how much time will it pass a man standing near the railway line?
Solution
A 200 m long train is running at a speed of 100 km/h.
length of train = 200 m
speed of train = 100 km/h
= $$100\times\frac{1000}{3600}$$ [1km = 1000m, 1hour = 3600 seconds]
= $$\frac{250}{9}$$ m/s
time taken to pass a man = $$\frac{length\ of\ train}{speed\ of\ train}$$
= $$\frac{200}{\frac{250}{9}}$$
= $$\frac{200\times\ 9}{250}$$
= $$\frac{4\times\ 9}{5}$$
= $$\frac{36}{5}$$
= 7.2 seconds
