Answer to Problem 59GP
The time taken by the train to cross the train for same direction is
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The speed of the car is,
The speed of the train is,
The length of the train is,
Formula Used:
The expression to calculate the time taken by the car to cross the train in the same direction of train is,
The expression to calculate the distance covered by the car in passing the train for same direction is,
The expression to calculate the time taken by the car to cross the train in the opposite direction of train is,
The expression to calculate the distance covered by the car in passing the train for opposite direction is,
Calculation:
Substitute al the values in the expression (1).
Substitute al the values in the expression (2).
Substitute al the values in the expression (3).
