(B) Let the stationary man be at point $C$ and the two moving men be at $A$ and $B$. The distance $CO = 12 \ m$. Since the men are $10 \ m$ apart and the stationary man is equidistant,$AO = OB = 5 \ m$.The distance $AC = BC = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = 13 \ m$.The angle $	heta$ between the line of motion and the line joining the observer to the source is given by $\cos 	heta = \frac{5}{13}$.For the man behind $(A)$ moving towards $O$ with speed $v_s = 2.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$,the component of velocity along the line $AC$ is $v_s \cos 	heta$ towards $C$. The observed frequency is $f_A = f \left( \frac{v}{v - v_s \cos 	heta} ight) = 1430 \left( \frac{330}{330 - 2 \cos 	heta} ight) \approx 1430 \left( 1 + \frac{2 \cos 	heta}{330} ight)$.For the man in front $(B)$ moving away from $O$ with speed $v_s = 1.0 \ m \ s^{-1}$,the component of velocity along the line $BC$ is $v_s \cos 	heta$ away from $C$. The observed frequency is $f_B = f \left( \frac{v}{v + v_s \cos 	heta} ight) = 1430 \left( \frac{330}{330 + 1 \cos 	heta} ight) \approx 1430 \left( 1 - \frac{\cos 	heta}{330} ight)$.The beat frequency is $\Delta f = f_A - f_B = 1430 \left( \frac{2 \cos 	heta + \cos 	heta}{330} ight) = 1430 \left( \frac{3 \cos 	heta}{330} ight) = 13 \cos 	heta$.Substituting $\cos 	heta = \frac{5}{13}$,we get $\Delta f = 13 	imes \frac{5}{13} = 5 \ Hz$.

An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a velocity equal to one-fifth of the velocity of sound. The percentage change in the frequency will be $\dots \;$%.

The frequency changes by $10\%$ as a sound source approaches a stationary observer with constant speed $v_s$. What would be the percentage change in frequency as the source recedes from the observer with the same speed? (Given that $v_s < v$,where $v$ is the speed of sound in air)

$A$ whistle revolves in a circle with an angular speed of $20 \; rad/s$ using a string of length $50 \; cm.$ If the frequency of sound from the whistle is $385 \; Hz,$ then what is the minimum frequency heard by an observer,who is far away from the centre in the same plane? $(v = 340 \; m/s)$

What should be the velocity of a sound source moving towards a stationary observer so that the apparent frequency is double the actual frequency? (Velocity of sound is $v$)
