First convert value:
60km = 60000mtr.
1 hour = 3600sec.
Calculation.
60000/3600 = 16.666 mtr/sec (this value for only one meter).
So 9 * 16.666 = 150mtr.
60km = 60000mtr.
1 hour = 3600sec.
Calculation.
60000/3600 = 16.666 mtr/sec (this value for only one meter).
So 9 * 16.666 = 150mtr.

Yeah@ obviously. Mr. Sundar your answer was right but I think your solution is complicated. I need as simple as possible. Will you provide?

@Latha, Please explain the solution.
(sqrt(3N))^3/2 = 90.
N = 10.
(sqrt(3N))^3/2 = 90.
N = 10.
