The accelerator of a train can produce a uniform acceleration of `0.25ms^(-2)` and its brake can produce a retardation of `0.5ms^(-2)` The shortest time in which the train can travel between two stations 8 km apart is x minutes and 10 s, if it stops at both stations. The value of x is.

The brakes of a train which is travelling at 30 m//s are applied as the train passes point A. The brakes produce a constant retardation of magnitude 3lambda m//s^(2) until the speed of the train is reduced to 10 m//s . The train travels at this speed for a distance and is then uniformly accelerated at lambda m//s^(2) until it again reaches a speed of 30 m//s as it passes point B. the time taken by the train in travelling from A to B, a distance of 4 km, is 4 min. Sketch the speed time graph for this motion and calculate:- (i) The value of lambda (ii) Distance travelled at 10 m//s .
