Given:

Speed of the train = 36 km/hr

Distance to be covered = 7/10 km

Formula Used:

Time = Distance / Speed

Calculation:

First, convert the speed to meters per second because the distance is in kilometers and we want the time in seconds.

Speed = 36 km/hr

1 km/hr = 5/18 m/s

⇒ Speed = 36 × 5/18 m/s

⇒ Speed = 10 m/s

Distance = 7/10 km = 700 meters

Time = Distance / Speed

⇒ Time = 700 / 10

⇒ Time = 70 seconds

The train will take 70 seconds to cover a distance of 7/10 of a kilometer.
