Given Data:
Time is taken = 24 seconds (to pass the pole)
Length of the train = 240 m
To Find:
Time to pass a 650m long platform =?
Solution:
The total distance traveled by train to cross a pole is equal to the length of the train; 240 m.
Distance = 240 m (in case of a pole)
Speed = distance/ time
Speed = 240 m/ 24 seconds
Speed = 10 m/s
So, the speed our train is traveling is 10 m/s.
Now, the time taken by the same train to cross a platform of 650 m can be calculated as,
Total distance = 650 m (platform length) + 240 m (train length)
Total distance = 890 m
Speed = distance/ time
Time = distance/ speed
Time = 890 m / 10m/s
Time = 89 seconds.
So, the time that it will take a train with a speed of 10 m/s and 240 m long to cross a plate form of 650 m is 89 seconds.
