Problems on Trains transparent vector / raster png


Rule 01. When train passes a pole or a stationary man it should travel the length equal to the length of the train.

Rule 02. When a train passes a platform it should travel the length equal to the sum of the lengths of train and platform.

Rule 03. When two trains are moving in opposite directions their speeds should be added to find the relative speed.

Rule 04. When two trains are moving in the same direction the relative speed will be the difference of their speeds.

Rule 05. Two trains are moving in the same direction at x km/hr and y km/hr (where x > y). If the faster train crosses the slower trains in ‘t’ seconds, then the length of the faster train is given by - [5/18(x-y)*t] metres.

Rule 06. A train running at x km/hr takes t1 seconds to pass a platform. Next it takes t2 seconds to pass a man walking at y km/hr in the opposite direction, then the length of the train is - [5/18(x+y)t2] metres and that of the platform is - 5/18[x(t1-t2)-y(t2)] metres.

Rule 07. Two trains are moving in opposite directions at x km/hr and y km/hr (where x>y), if the faster train crosses a man, travelling in the slower train in t seconds, then the length of the faster train is given by - [5/18(x+y)t] metres.

Rule 08. A train running at x km/hr takes t1 seconds to pass a platform. Next it takes t2 seconds to pass a man walking at y km/hr in the same direction, then the length of the train is - [5/18(x-y)t2] metres and and that of the platform is - 5/18[x(t1-t2)+y(t2)] metres.

Rule 09. L metres long train crosses a bridge of length L1 metres in T seconds. Time taken by the train to cross a platform of L2 metres is given by - {[(LxL1)/(LxL2)]T} seconds.

Rule 10. If L metres long train crosses a bridge or a platform of length L1 metres in T seconds, then the time taken by train to cross a pole is given by - (LxT)/(L+L1) seconds.

Rule 11. Two trains start at the same time from A and B and proceed towards each other at the rate of x km/hr and y km/hr respectively. when they meet it is found that one train has travelled d km more than the other. Then the distance between A and B is - [(x+y)/(x-y)]xd km. or [Distance = Difference in Distance x (Sum of Speeds/Difference in Speeds)].

Rule 12. Two stations A and B are D km apart on a straight line. A train starts from A towards B at x km/hr. t hours later another train starts from B towards A at y km/hr. The time after which the train starting from A will meet the train starting from B is - (D+ty)/(x+y) Hours.

Rule 13. A train passes by a stationary man standing on the platform or a pole in t1 seconds and passes by the platform completely in t2 seconds. If the length of the platform is ‘p’ metres, then the length of the train is - (t1xp)/(t2-t1) metres and the speed of the train is - p/(t2-t1) m/s or Length of the Train = [(Length of the Platform/Difference in Time) x Time taken to cross a pole or a stationary man]; and Speed of the Train = Length of the Platform/Difference in time.

Continent Wise Classification and Distribution of Local Winds

By Bharat Choudhary -

Local winds are small scale convective winds of local origin caused by temperature differences. Local terrain has a very strong influence on local winds, and the more varied the terrain, the greater the influence. These occur on a small spatial scale, their horizontal dimensions typically several tens to a few hundreds of kilometers. They also tend to be short-lived lasting typically several hours to a day. There are many such winds around the world. Most common local winds are  sea breezes and land breezes, Anabatic and katabatic winds, and Foehn winds. Land Breezes and Sea Breezes:   As the names suggest, the two breezes occur along coastal areas or areas with adjacent large water bodies. Water and land have different heating abilities. Water takes a bit more time to warm up and is able to retain the heat longer than land does. Now let us see the following Diagram - Land Breeze:  It's  a coastal breeze blowing at night from land to s...

Soil Geography - Zonal, Intrazonal and Azonal Soils (Older System of Classification)

By Bharat Choudhary -
Image
Soil geography deals with the distribution of soils as function of the five recognized soil-forming factors (climate, flora and fauna including Man, relief, parent material, time), either acting singly or in combination. It forms the basis of such concepts as zonality (i.e. the regional distribution of soils in zones), first formulated by Dokuchaev on the basis of climate for European Russia, elaborated upon further by Glinka and Sibirchev, who introduced the zonal, intrazonal and azonal soils approach, taking into account other soil-forming factors than climate. The loose material or the upper layer of the Mantle Rock, t he soil system, is the product of environmental and biological processes in interrelation with climate, vegetation (flora), animals (fauna), underlying rocks, topography and time which affect the biosphere. This is the  Zonal ( Older ) System of Classification .  This system links the distribution of various soil types to the distribution of...

Is God A Woman?

THE SHAKTI PRINCIPLE Is God A Woman? Shakti literally means power but a different kind of power—the power of beauty, intuition, nurturing, and tenderness. DEEPAK CHOPRA Image Source :   http://www.carolinejariwala.com/ No God is not a woman, but God's feminine face has been ignored for too long. The masculine energies have dominated our culture for centuries and because of that we have become a predatory species. We are the only animal that kills our own kind most frequently in the name of God. The feminine forces of the universe are desperately needed if we have to evolve into our next stage of development.  "The whole universe is a gesture of erotic love and every dancing molecule is moving in longing for an unseen lover." God, being infinite intelligence, cannot be squeezed into the volume of a body or the span of a lifetime. Nor can God be conceived of in human form. Nevertheless, God can be symbolised in masculine and feminine forms. The masculine form needs to be pu...
