Problem
A train starts from rest at one station and comes to rest at the next station, which is 1584 m away. The train accelerates uniformly for the first 2/3 of the distance and then decelerates uniformly for the remaining distance. The total time for the journey is 3 minutes. Find the acceleration, the deceleration, and the maximum speed reached.
