Answer

(a) $617Hz$ (b) $583Hz$

Work Step by Step

(a) The frequency heard by the observer is given as $f^{\prime}=(\frac{1}{1+\frac{u}{v}})f$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f^{\prime}=(\frac{1}{1+(18.5)(343)})(650)=617Hz$ (b) The frequency heard by the engineer is given as $f^{\prime \prime}=(1-\frac{u}{v})f$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f^{\prime\prime}=(1-\frac{18.5}{343})(616.7)=583Hz$
