$A$ sounding body of negligible dimension emitting a frequency of $150\, Hz$ is dropped from a height. During its fall under gravity,it passes near a balloon moving up with a constant velocity of $2\, m/s$ one second after it started to fall. The difference in the frequency observed by the man in the balloon just before and just after crossing the body will be: (Given: velocity of sound $= 300\, m/s$; $g = 10\, m/s^2$) (in $, Hz$)

Two trains,one coming towards and another going away from an observer,both at $4 \; m/s$,produce a whistle simultaneously of frequency $300 \; Hz$. Find the number of beats produced. (Assume the speed of sound $v = 332 \; m/s$)

$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with speed $34\, m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the speed of the train is reduced to $17\, m/s$,the frequency registered is $f_2$. If the speed of sound is $340\, m/s$,then the ratio $f_1/f_2$ is

An engine is moving on a circular path of radius $200 \,m$ with a speed of $15 \,m/s$. What will be the frequency heard by an observer who is at rest at the centre of the circular path,when the engine blows the whistle with a frequency of $250 \,Hz$?

Two sources $A$ and $B$ are sending notes of frequency $680 \ Hz$. $A$ listener moves from $A$ towards $B$ with a constant velocity $u$. If the speed of sound in air is $340 \ ms^{-1}$, what must be the value of $u$ so that he hears $10$ beats per second (in $ms^{-1}$)?
