    In the above equation: Speed = velocity x time
    Please replace Speed with distance. As
    distance = velocity x time (S=vt)

    Solution:

    Assume length of train = y, velocity = 40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

    Speed = velocity x time

    y + 150 = 11.11 x 20

    y = length of train = 72.2 m
