a train 350 m long is traveling at a speed of 108km per hour. if the train takes 40 s to cross a bridge then find out the length of the bridge
Answers
Answer:
850m
Step-by-step explanation:
350+x/108*5/18=40
then x= 850m
Solution:-
Step:1 Given that ,
Train length= 350m
Train speed= 108 km/hour
Step :2
a . First we have to change the speed of train into m/ sec unit
We know ,
1km= 1000 meters
1 hour= 60 minutes
1 minutes = 60 seconds
1 hour = 60×60 seconds
= 3600 seconds
b. For change speed from km/hour into meter second= 1000/3600 m/sec
= 5/18
c. Now we change the speed of train into m/sec by these given explanation = 108 * (5/18)
= 30 m/sec
Step:3
Given that, time taken by train to cross a bridge is =40 sec
a. Its mean the train travelled
its length and the bridge length in 40 seconds
b. Let ,
the bridge length= B
By the question,
We have the equation,
( B+350) m/30 m/sec = 40 sec
B+350 = 1200
B = 1200 - 350
= 850 m
Step :4
Answer :- The bridge length is 850 meters.
