A train 360 m long is running at a speed of 45 km/hr. In what time will it pass a bridge 140 m long?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Formula for converting from km/hr to m/s: X km/hr = |  |
X x | 5 |  |
m/s. |
| 18 |
| Therefore, Speed = | |
45 x | 5 | m/sec |
= | 25 | m/sec. |
| 18 | 2 |
Total distance to be covered = (360 + 140) m = 500 m.
| Formula for finding Time = | |
Distance | |
| Speed |
 Required time = |
|
500 x 2 | sec |
= 40 sec. |
| 25 |

Why (x*5/18) mps?

But we added 500 with 140.

Why should we add 360 and 140?
A train of length 360 is moving on 140 m bridge. It is not covering 360 m distance and 140 m distance. Then why should we add two lengths?

Hi rajasekaran the solution
speed=55km/hr
= (55*1000)/(60*60)
=15.27m/s
Total distance=the bridge distance+distance of the train to cross the bridge
d=470+140=610
time=d/s=610/15.27=39.94s
speed=55km/hr
= (55*1000)/(60*60)
=15.27m/s
Total distance=the bridge distance+distance of the train to cross the bridge
d=470+140=610
time=d/s=610/15.27=39.94s

5/18 comes .because we want to express the unit of speed to m/s
1km/hr=1000m/3600s=5/18 m\s
1km/hr=1000m/3600s=5/18 m\s

Please explain to me why we are adding train length and bridge length. The train is moving on the bridge only.
And they asked only the time taken to move on the bridge.
Please explain to me in detail.
