    Important Points: Trains Passing A Telegraph Post or Stationary Object 1

    Uploaded by

    UtpalSaha
    This document discusses methods for calculating the time required for trains to pass stationary objects or each other based on their speeds and lengths. It provides examples of calculating passing times for a train passing a telegraph post, crossing a bridge, passing in opposite directions, passing in the same direction, passing a walking man going in the opposite or same direction, one train passing a man in a slower train, and a train passing a platform and then a walking man to determine their lengths. The key concepts are that passing time depends on the combined lengths and relative speeds of the trains or train and object in questions.

    Important Points

    (i) When two trains are moving in opposite directions, their speeds
    should be added to find the relative speed.

    (ii) When they are moving in the same direction, the relative speed
    is the difference of their speeds.

    (iii) When a train passes a platform, it should travel the length equal
    to the sum of the lengths of trains & platform both.

    Trains Passing a Telegraph Post or Stationary Object

    1. How many seconds will a train 100 metres long running at the
    rate of 36 km an hour take to pass a certain telegraph post?

    Solution: In passing the post the train must travel its own length.

    ʿ
    Now, 36 km/hr = 36 ×5/18 = 10 m/sc.

    Required time = 100/10 = 10 seconds.

    Trains Crossing A Bridge or a Railway Station

    2.How long does a train 110 metres long running at the rate of 36
    km/hr take to cross a bridge 132 metres in length?

    Trains Running in Opposite Directions

    3. Two trains 121 metres and 99 metres in length respectively are


    running in opposite directions, one at the rate of 40 km and the
    other at the rate of 32 km an hour. In what time will they be
    completely clear of each other from the moment they meet?

    Trains Running in the Same Direction

    4. In example above. If the trains were running in the same


    direction, in what time will they be clear each other?

    Trains passing a Walking Man

    5. A train 110 metres in length travels at 60 km/hr. In what time


    will it pass a man who is walking at 6 km an hour (i) against it; (ii)
    in the same direction?

    Solution: This question is to be solved like the above examples 3


    and 4, the only difference being that the length of the man is zero.

    6. Two trains are moving in the same direction at 50 km/hr and 30


    km/hr. The faster train crosses a man in the slower train in 18
    seconds. Find the length of the faster train.

    7. A train running at 25 km/hr takes 18 seconds to pass a


    platform. Next, it takes 12 seconds to pass a man walking at 5
    km/hr in the opposite direction. Find the length of the train and that
    of the platform.
