Answer

$f = 480~Hz$

Work Step by Step

First we can find an expression for $f_1$. In this situation: $v_D = 0$ $v_S = 15~m/s$ We can find an expression for $f_1$: $f_1 = f~\frac{v}{v-v_S}$ $f_1 = f~(\frac{340~m/s}{340~m/s-15~m/s})$ $f_1 = 1.046~f$ Then we can find an expression for $f_2$. In this situation: $v_D = 25~m/s$ $v_S = 15~m/s$ We can find an expression for $f_2$: $f_2 = f~\frac{v+v_D}{v-v_S}$ $f_2 = f~(\frac{340~m/s+25~m/s}{340~m/s-15~m/s})$ $f_2 = 1.123~f$ We can find $f$: $f_1+37~Hz = f_2$ $1.046~f+37~Hz = 1.123~f$ $37~Hz = 1.123~f-1.046~f$ $37~Hz = 0.077~f$ $f = \frac{37~Hz}{0.077}$ $f = 480~Hz$
