The ptich of the whistle of an engine appears to rise to 1,2 times the original value when it approaches a stationary observer. Calculate the speed of the engine if the speed of sound in air is 330 m/s.`v'=((V)/(V-V_(S)))v`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
55 m/s
`v.=((v)/(v-v_s))v`
