As a loaded train is going up a ramp of α = 3 degrees as shown in the figure, the freight wagons behind are disconnected from the locomotive and the wagons start to run downwards. If S= 2180 meters below, there is a station. In order not to have a major accident at the station, it will be informed and the road will be directed to an empty line. How much time is there for this? So in how many seconds will the wagons be at the station? What will be its speed when it arrives at the station? The tonnage of the empty wagons is W=120 tons.
