    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

    stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency $f_0$, which is reflected by two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound reflected from the cars is $1.2\%$ of $f_0$. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars (in $km$ per hour) to the nearest integer ..... $km/hr$ ? The cars are moving at constant speeds much smaller than the speed of sound which is $330$ $ms^{-1}$.
