A train 350 m long takes 36 seconds to cross a man running at a speed of 5 km/h in the direction opposite to that of train. What is the speed of the train?
Let the speed of the train be x m/s
Speed of the man = 5km/hr = 1.388m/s
Relative speed of man when he is running in opposite direction = (x+1.388)
However train crossess him in 36 seconds = 350/36 =Â 9.722 m/s
x+1.388 = 9.722
x = 8.334 m/s
x = 30 km/hr
