A car travelling at 60 km/h overtakes another car travelling at 42 km/h. Assuming each car to be 5.0 m long, find the time taken during the overtake and the total road distance used for the overtake.

Explanation

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the speeds from km/h to m/s
The speeds of the cars are given in kilometers per hour (km/h). We need to convert them to meters per second (m/s) using the conversion factor:
\[ 1 \text{ km/h} = \frac{5}{18} \text{ m/s} \]
