60*9/18.
50/3.
50/3*9.
= 150 Ans.

1 km = 1000 m,
1 hr has 3600 sec.
So, 1 km/hr = 1000m/3600s = 5/18 m/s.
1 hr has 3600 sec.
So, 1 km/hr = 1000m/3600s = 5/18 m/s.

60km/60min = 1km/min.
1km = 1000metres , 1hr = 60mins.
1000m/60min = 16.666667.
16.666667 * 9 = 150metres.
1km = 1000metres , 1hr = 60mins.
1000m/60min = 16.666667.
16.666667 * 9 = 150metres.

Given, S = 60 km/hr,
Time(T) = 9 sec and L(T)=?
Speed(S) = (60 * 5/18) = (50/3 m/sec).
L(T) = S * T.
L(T) = (50/3*9)m.
= 150m.
Time(T) = 9 sec and L(T)=?
Speed(S) = (60 * 5/18) = (50/3 m/sec).
L(T) = S * T.
L(T) = (50/3*9)m.
= 150m.

For converting km to m 60*1000 = 60000m.
For converting hrs. to sec. 60 * 60 = 3600sec.
60000/3600 = 16.6666.
16.666 * 9 = 150.
For converting hrs. to sec. 60 * 60 = 3600sec.
60000/3600 = 16.6666.
16.666 * 9 = 150.

1km = 1000m.
1hour = 3600sec.
1000/3600 = 5/18 mps.
1hour = 3600sec.
1000/3600 = 5/18 mps.

but how do we convert km into m?? and where does that 5/18 come from?
Anyone, please explain to me.

The train is running at 60 km per hour and it crosses the poll in 9 seconds to calculate the length of the train the formula is length = speed * time
let's calculate;
60 km = 60000 m.
60 min = 60 * 60 = 3600 sec,
let's calculate speed per second:
60000/ 3600 = 16.666666 = 16.666666 m/s.
In one second train covered the 16.666666 m.
so the train crossed the poll in 9 second.
so;
16.666666 * 9 = 150.
let's calculate;
60 km = 60000 m.
60 min = 60 * 60 = 3600 sec,
let's calculate speed per second:
60000/ 3600 = 16.666666 = 16.666666 m/s.
In one second train covered the 16.666666 m.
so the train crossed the poll in 9 second.
so;
16.666666 * 9 = 150.
