Question

A train moving at speed of 130 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds .Find the length of the train ?

Answer 1

THE LENGTH OF THE TRAIN IS 325m

Answer 2

Given,

Speed of the train = 130 km/hr

Time taken by the train to cross the pole = 9 seconds.

To Find,

The length of the train.

Solution,

First, we will convert the speed of the train in m/sec

So,

130 km/hr = 130*5/18 = 650/18 m/sec

Now,

Length of pole = Speed of train*time taken by the train to cross the pole.

Length of the pole = 650/18*9 = 325 m

Hence, the length of the train is 325 m.
