$A$ submarine $(A)$ travelling at $18\, km/hr$ is being chased along the line of its velocity by another submarine $(B)$ travelling at $27\, km/hr$. $B$ sends a sonar signal of $500\, Hz$ to detect $A$ and receives a reflected sound of frequency $v$. The value of $v$ is close to ... $Hz$ (Speed of sound in water $= 1500\, ms^{-1}$)

$A$ car moving towards a wall at a velocity of $72 \,km/hr$ sounds a horn of frequency $124 \,vib/sec$. What frequency will the driver hear? (Speed of sound in air = $330 \,ms^{-1}$)

Two trucks heading in opposite directions, each with a speed of $0.1 u$, approach each other. The speed of sound is $u$. The driver of the first truck sounds his horn with a frequency of $495 \,Hz$. Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ be the frequencies heard by the driver of the second truck when the trucks are approaching each other and when the trucks have passed each other, respectively. The magnitude of $v_1 - v_2$ is (in $\,Hz$)

$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 \ Hz$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti-clockwise with a uniform speed $4 \sqrt{2} \ ms^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$,as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. $A$ sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $OP$.
[Given: The speed of sound in air is $324 \ ms^{-1}$]
$(1)$ When only $S_2$ is emitting sound and it is at $Q$,the frequency of sound measured by the detector in $Hz$ is. . . . . .
$(2)$ Consider both sources emitting sound. When $S_2$ is at $R$ and $S_1$ approaches the detector with a speed $4 \ ms^{-1}$,the beat frequency measured by the detector is $\qquad$ $Hz$.

With what velocity an observer should move relative to a stationary source so that a sound of triple the frequency of source is heard by an observer?
