Answer

$$1.022 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{Hz}$$

Work Step by Step

We mark speed of French submarine by $u_{1}$ and U.S. sub by $u_{2}$ . Therefore frequency, as detected by the U.S. sub, is $$f_{1}^{\prime}=f_{1}\left(\frac{v+u_{2}}{v-u_{1}}\right)$$$$=\left(1.000 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{Hz}\right)\left(\frac{5470 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}+70.00 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}}{5470 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}-50.00 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}}\right)=1.022 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{Hz}$$
