(d)The apparent frequency heard by the observer is given by
$n' = \frac{v}{{v - {v_S}}}n$= $\frac{{330}}{{330 - 33}} \times 450 = \frac{{330}}{{297}} \times 450 = 500$$Hz$

    The mass per unit length of a uniform wire is $0.135\, g / cm$. A transverse wave of the form $y =-0.21 \sin ( x +30 t )$ is produced in it, where $x$ is in meter and $t$ is in second. Then, the expected value of tension in the wire is $x \times 10^{-2} N$. Value of $x$ is . (Round-off to the nearest integer)
