${\rm{m}} = \int_0^x {{\mu _0}} {\rm{xdx}} = \frac{{{\mu _0}{{\rm{x}}^2}}}{2}$

$\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{x}^{2} \mathrm{g}}{2. \mu_{0} \mathrm{x}}}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{x g}{2}}$

$a=\frac{v d v}{d x}=\sqrt{\frac{x g}{2}} \sqrt{\frac{g}{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}=\frac{g}{4} \,m / s^{2}$

${l_0} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{{\rm{g}}}{4}{{\rm{t}}^2} \Rightarrow {\rm{t}} = \sqrt {\frac{{8{l_0}}}{{\rm{g}}}} $

    Two loudspeakers $M$ and $N$ are located $20 \mathrm{~m}$ apart and emit sound at frequencies $118 \mathrm{~Hz}$ and $121 \mathrm{~Hz}$, respectively. $A$ car is initially at a point $P, 1800 \mathrm{~m}$ away from the midpoint $Q$ of the line $M N$ and moves towards $Q$ constantly at $60 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}$ along the perpendicular bisector of $M N$. It crosses $Q$ and eventually reaches a point $R, 1800(m$ away from $Q$. Let $v(t)$ represent the beat frequency measured by a person sitting in tlie car at time $t$. Let $v_P, v_Q$ and $v_R$ be the beat frequencies measured at locations $P . Q$ and $R$, respectively. The speed of sound in air is $330 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) true regarding the sound heard by the person?

    ($A$) $v_P+v_R=2 v_Q$
