A passenger and a good train are headed ...

A passenger and a good train are headed in the same direction on parallel tracks. The passenger train is `240 m` long and has a constant velocity `72 km h^(-1)` Beginning from the time the engine of the passenger train approaches the last wagon of the goods train it takes `25 s` to be in level with the engine of the goods train. It took `30 s` more to completely overtake the goods train. Determine the length and speed of the goods train.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the length and speed of the goods train based on the information provided about the passenger train. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert the speed of the passenger train to meters per second:** \[ \text{Speed of passenger train} = 72 \text{ km/h} = \frac{72 \times 1000}{3600} = 20 \text{ m/s} \] ...
