Given:

Length of the train = 800 m

Speed of the train = 126 kmph

Time to cross the tunnel = 61 seconds

Formula Used:

Total Distance = Length of the train + Length of the tunnel

Speed = Distance / Time

Calculation:

Convert speed to m/s: Speed = 126 × (1000 / 3600)

⇒ Speed = 126 × (10 / 36)

⇒ Speed = 35 m/s

Distance covered in 61 seconds: Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ Distance = 35 × 61

⇒ Distance = 2135 m

Length of the tunnel = Distance - Length of the train

⇒ Length of the tunnel = 2135 - 800

⇒ Length of the tunnel = 1335 m

The length of the tunnel is 1335 m.
