Answer:
let t = no of minutes when they are at the same altitude
:
52200 - 3300t = 2500t
52200 = 3300t + 2500t
52200 = 5800t
t = 52200/5800
t = 9 minutes they will be at the same altitude
:
The altitude:
9*2500 = 22500 ft
:
Check on other train
52200 - 9(3300) =
52200 - 29700 = 22500 ft
diameter is 15 meters then radius is 15/2 = 7.5 meters
so the amplitude is 7.5 m and height will oscillate with amplitude 7.5 m above and below the center.
midline of the oscillation will be 7.5 m
the wheel.take 8 minutes to complete revolution then it means the height will oscillate with a period of 8 minutes
You take 45,000 divided by .15= 30,000
30,000 it your answer
Hope this helps
