A train accelerates from at the constant rate `b` for time `t_(2)` at a constant rate a and then it retards at the comes to rest. Find the ratio`t_(1)`//`t_(2)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`v_(0)=0+ alphat_(1) rArr t_(1)-v_(0)//alpha`,
`0=v_(0)-betat_(2) rArr t_(3)=v_(0)//beta`
.
`rArr (t_(1))/(t_(2))=(beta)/(alpha)`.
