1.
A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Speed = |  |
60 x | 5 |  m/sec |
= | |
50 | m/sec. |
| 18 | 3 |
Length of the train = (Speed x Time).
 Length of the train = |
|
50 | x 9 | m = 150 m. |
| 3 |

1hr = 60Km.
3600sec = 60000 m.
1sec = 60000/3600 = 50/3.
9 sec = (50/3)*9 = 150m.
3600sec = 60000 m.
1sec = 60000/3600 = 50/3.
9 sec = (50/3)*9 = 150m.

3600sec = 60*10^3m.
9sec = ?.
answer = 9*60000/3600 = 150m.
Its very simple,
But I like your methods of solving for answer.

Distance = speed*time(50/2*9 = 150)m.
So, 150 m is distance traveled by the train, length of the train can be lower than distance. So can't say 150 m exact.

Hi Vishnu.
(sqrt(3N))^3/2 = 90.
N=?
Answer: N=10.
(sqrt(3N))^3/2 = 90.
N=?
Answer: N=10.

Length always in meters so in order to get meters we just multiply it.

(60*1000*9)m/3600s = 150m.

The answer is simple. We are converting the 'kilo-meters/hour' value into 'meters/second'.
Let me explain about converting km/hr into m/s in detail.
1 km = 1000 meters.
1 hr = 3600 seconds.
1 km/hr = 1000/3600 m/s
= 10/36 m/s
= 5/18 m/s.
Therefore 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/sec.
Let me explain about converting km/hr into m/s in detail.
1 km = 1000 meters.
1 hr = 3600 seconds.
1 km/hr = 1000/3600 m/s
= 10/36 m/s
= 5/18 m/s.
Therefore 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/sec.
