The length of the train is $210$ m. it passes through a station of length $340$ m, at a speed of $180$ km/h. Calculate the number of seconds the train takes to pass completely through the station.

Solution

length of train $= 210 m$
length of platform $= 340 m$
distance the train has to travel to cross the platform $=$ length of train + length of platform
$= 210 + 340 m = 550 m$
Speed of train $= 180 k m / h r$
$= 180 \times \frac{1000}{3000} = 50 m / s$
time taken to cross the platform $= \frac{d i s t a n c e}{s p e e}$
$= \frac{550}{50} = 113$
Train taken $11$ seconds to pass completely through the station
