The length of the goods train is 270 meters.
Given that, a goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 26 seconds.
<h3>What is the distance formula with speed and time?</h3>
Speed is defined as the rate at which an object moves from one place to another in a given interval of time. It is a scalar quantity as it defines only the magnitude not the directions of an object moving. The S.I. unit of speed is m/s.
The speed of a moving object can be calculated as Speed = Distance / Time.
Now, to convert km/h to m/sec multiply the measure by 5/18.
That is, 72 × 5/18 = 20 m/sec
Let the length of the train be x metres.
So, then (x+250) / 26 = 20
⇒x+250=520
⇒x=270 meters
Therefore, the length of the goods train is 270 meters.
