$A$ sound source is moving on a circular path of radius $R$ with constant angular speed $\omega$ in an anticlockwise direction and emits a frequency $n$. An observer performs simple harmonic motion along the path $QPR$ with time period $T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$ as shown in the figure. If at $t = 0$ the source is at $A$ and the observer is at $Q$,and assuming $OP$ is very large compared to the radius $R$ and $QP$,then:

When an engine passes near a stationary observer,its apparent frequencies occur in the ratio $5/3$. If the velocity of sound is $340 \ m/s$,then the velocity of the engine is .... $m/s$.

Two cars are approaching each other at an equal speed of $7.2\, km/hr$. When they see each other,both blow horns having a frequency of $676\, Hz$. The beat frequency heard by each driver will be $.....\, Hz$. [Velocity of sound in air is $340\, m/s$.]

$A$ police car moving at $22 \ m/s$ chases a motorcyclist. The policeman sounds his horn at $176 \ Hz$,while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency $165 \ Hz$. Calculate the speed of the motorcycle,if it is given that he does not observe any beats. (in $m/s$)

$A$ train moves towards a stationary observer with a speed of $34 \ m/s$. The train sounds a whistle and its frequency registered by the observer is $f_1$. If the train's speed 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:
