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.
