Answer: The length of the train is 3000 m
Given parameters
Speed of the Train = 250 km/h
Speed of the cycle = 10 km/h
The train overtakes the cyclist who travels in 45 seconds with a speed of 10 km/h.
To calculate: The length of the train
Uniform speed = (250 – 10) km/h
Uniform speed = 240 km/h
Then the uniform speed of the cyclist and the train = 240 x (5/18) m/s
The length of the train = \(\frac{240\times 5\times 45}{18}\)
The length of the train = 3000 m
