When the train passes through a pole or tower or light-post or tree or a stationary object If length of train = x meters and speed of the train = y km/hr, then time taken by the train to pass the stationary object = length of the train/speed of the train = x meters/y km/hr. Note: Change km/hr into m/sec. Solved examples to calculate when the train passes through a pole or a stationary object. 1. A train 150 m long is running at a uniform speed of 54 km/hr. How much time will it take to cross a pole? Solution: Speed of train = 54 km/hr = 54 × 5/18 m/sec = 15 m/sec Length of the train = 150 meters Therefore, time taken by the train to cross a pole = length of train/speed of train = 150/15 sec = 10 sec Thus, train takes 10 seconds to cross the pole. 2. Find the time taken by a train 300 m long, running at a speed of 54 km/hr in crossing the pole. Solution: Length of the train = 300 m Speed of the train = 54 km/hr = 54 × 5/18 m/sec = 15 m/sec Therefore, time taken by the train to cross the pole = 300 m/15 m/sec = 20 seconds. 3. A train is running at a speed of 45 km/hr. It crosses a tower in 8 seconds. Find the length of the train. Solution: Speed of train = 45 km/hr = 45 × 5/18 m/sec = 25/2 m/sec Time takes to cross the tower = 8 seconds Length of the train = speed × time = 25/2 × 8 m = 100 m 4. A train is running at a speed of 126 km/hr. if it crosses a pole in just 7 second, what is the length of the train? Solution: Speed of the train = 126 km/hr Speed of the train = 126 × 5/18 m/sec = 35 m/sec Time taken by the train to cross the pole = 7 seconds Therefore, length of the train = 35 m/sec × 7 sec = 245 m Speed of Train Relationship between Speed, Distance and Time Conversion of Units of Speed Problems on Calculating Speed Problems on Calculating Distance Problems on Calculating Time Two Objects Move in Same Direction Two Objects Move in Opposite Direction Train Passes a Moving Object in the Same Direction Train Passes a Moving Object in the Opposite Direction Train Passes through a Pole Train Passes through a Bridge Two Trains Passes in the Same Direction Two Trains Passes in the Opposite Direction
