Question Number 35879 by NECx last updated on 25/May/18

Find the velocity of the source   along the line joining the source  to a stationary observer if,as a  result of the motion,the frequency  of the note heard is  a)increased in the ratio 18:15  b)decreased in the ratio 15:18

a)((f′)/f)=(v/(v−v_s ))=((18)/(15))  18v−18v_s =15v  3v=18v_(s   ) v_s =(v/6)   v_s =((330)/6)=55meter/second  b)((f′)/f)=(v/(v+v_s ))=((15)/(18))  15v+15v_s =18v  v_s =((3v)/(15))=(v/5)  v_s =((330)/5)=66m/sec

$$\left.{a}\right)\frac{{f}'}{{f}}=\frac{{v}}{{v}−{v}_{{s}} }=\frac{\mathrm{18}}{\mathrm{15}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{18}{v}−\mathrm{18}{v}_{{s}} =\mathrm{15}{v} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{v}=\mathrm{18}{v}_{{s}\:\:\:} {v}_{{s}} =\frac{{v}}{\mathrm{6}}\:\:\:{v}_{{s}} =\frac{\mathrm{330}}{\mathrm{6}}=\mathrm{55}{meter}/{second} \\ $$$$\left.{b}\right)\frac{{f}'}{{f}}=\frac{{v}}{{v}+{v}_{{s}} }=\frac{\mathrm{15}}{\mathrm{18}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{15}{v}+\mathrm{15}{v}_{{s}} =\mathrm{18}{v} \\ $$$${v}_{{s}} =\frac{\mathrm{3}{v}}{\mathrm{15}}=\frac{{v}}{\mathrm{5}} \\ $$$${v}_{{s}} =\frac{\mathrm{330}}{\mathrm{5}}=\mathrm{66}{m}/{sec} \\ $$
