A 600 metres long train can cross a 1200 metres long platform in 36 seconds. In how much time(in seconds) can it cross a bridge 2200 metres long?
A 600 metres long train can cross a 1200 metres long platform in 36 seconds.
Speed of train =Â $$\frac{length\ of\ train+length\ of\ platform}{time}$$
=Â $$\frac{600+1200}{36}$$
= $$\frac{1800}{36}$$
= 50 m/s
Time taken by train to cross a bridge of 2200 metres long = $$\frac{length\ of\ train+length\ of\ bridge}{speed\ of \ train}$$
=Â $$\frac{600+2200}{50}$$
= $$\frac{2800}{50}$$
= 56Â seconds
