Convert Speed
Easy
You are given 'X', representing the speed of an object in kmph.
Convert the speed to m/sec. Your result should be accurate up to 3 decimal places.
Input Format :
The first line of input contains a single integer 'X', which denotes the speed of the object in kmph.
Output Format :
Return the speed of the object in m/sec.
Note :
You don’t need to print anything. Just implement the given function.
Constraints :
10 <= 'X' <= 10^9
Time Limit: 1 sec
Approaches
Approach:
- Let us determine the formula for the conversion
- We know that: 1 km = 1000 metre & 1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds
- Therefore, 1 kmph = 1000 metre / 3600 seconds = ( 5 / 18 ) m/sec
- Thus, we need to multiply the input with ( 5 / 18 ) to get our answer.
- We need to avoid integer overflow and floating point precision errors while using the above formula.
Algorithm:
- Return ‘( 5 * X ) / 18’
