Units of Measurement
The units of measurement of distance are
km, m, cm etc.
The units of measurement of time are hour (hr),
minute (min), second (sec).
The units of measurement of speed are
km/hr and m/sec, cm/sec etc.
NOTE: The units of time and distance determine
the unit of measurement of speed.

SOLUTION:
The length of the train will be equal to the
distance travelled in the given time with the
same speed.
Speed = 36 km/hr
Conversion:
Time = 20 sec
