Solution

To find the length of the train, we need to use the formula:

Speed = Distance/Time

We know the speed of the train is 60 km/hr and it crosses a pole (which can be considered as a point) in 9 seconds.

First, we need to convert the speed from km/hr to m/s by multiplying it by 5/18.

So, 60 km/hr = 60 * (5/18) = 16.67 m/s

Now, we can find the distance (which is the length of the train in this case) by rearranging the formula:

Distance = Speed * Time

So, the length of the train = 16.67 m/s * 9 s = 150 metres

So, the length of the train is 150 metres.
