A man sitting on a swing which is moving to an angle of 60° from the vertical is blowing a whistle which has a frequency of 2.0 k Hz. The whistle is 2.0 m from the fixed support point of the swing. A sound detector which detects the whistle sound is kept in front of the swing. If velocity of sound in air is 330 m/s, then the maximum frequency the sound detector detected is

Police in a siren car moving with a velocity 20 ms-1 chases a thief who is moving in a car with a velocity v0ms-1. The police car sounds at frequency 300Hz, and both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency 400Hz. Calculate the speed at which the thief is moving. (Assume the thief does not observe any beat)
