A heavy ball of mass $M$ is suspended from the ceiling of car by a light string of mass $m (m << M)$. When the car is at rest, the speed of transverse waves in the string is $60\, ms^{-1}$. When the car has acceleration $a$ , the wave-speed increases to $60.5\, ms^{-1}$. The value of $a$ , in terms of gravitational acceleration $g$ is closest to

    A stationary observer receives sound from two identical tuning forks, one of which approaches and the other one recedes with the same speed (much less than the speed of sound). The observer hears $2\; beats/sec$. The oscillation frequency of each tuning fork is $v_{0}=1400 \;\mathrm{Hz}$ and the velocity of sound in air is $350\; \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. The speed of each tuning fork is close to

    A stationary source emits sound of frequency $\mathrm{f}_0=492 \mathrm{~Hz}$. The sound is reflected by a large car approaching the source with a speed of $2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. The reflected signal is received by the soruce and superposed with the original. What will be the beat frequency of the resulting signal in $\mathrm{Hz}$ ? (Given that the speed of sound in air is $330 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$ and the car reflects the sound at the frequency it has received).
