A train accelerates from rest at station A to a velocity of 24ms-1. It maintains this speed for 60 seconds, until it decelerates uniformly to station B. The total journey time is 100 seconds and the magnitudes of the acceleration and deceleration are equal.
Find the time it takes the train to accelerate from rest to 24ms-1.
