                                    2. 50 m.

Problems on Trains:

1. A jogger running at 10 km/hr alongside a railway track is 260 m ahead of the engine of a 130 m long train running at 49 km/hr in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger?
Solution:
                  Relative speed = 49-10 
                                           = 39 km/hr 
                                           = 195/18 m/s.

                   Time = (260+130)/ (195/18) 
                            = 390*18/195 
                            = 36 seconds.

2. A train 180 m long is running with a speed of 50 km/hr. In what time will it pass a man who is running at 5 km/hr in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?

Solution:
                   Relative speed = 50+5 = 55 km/hr 
                                                        = 55*5/18 
                                                        = 275/18 m/s.

                   Time = 180*18/275
                            = 11.8 seconds.
