Two train whistles have identical frequencies of 180 Hz. When one train is at rest in the station and the other is moving nearby, a passenger standing on the station platform hears beats with a frequency of 2.00 beats/s when the whistles operate together. What are the two possible speeds and direction the moving train can have? speed of sound is 343 m/s.
