10/36 m/s
= 5/18 m/s.
Therefore 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/sec.
Similarly 60 km/hr = 60 x 5/18 m/sec.
I'm not understanding this section, please explain.

Hello @Sundar,
I'm not understanding this 1 km/hr = 1000/3600 m/s.
But.
How come this?
= 10/36 m/s.
= 5/18 m/s.
Please explain.

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.
