Answer

$f' = 1126~Hz$

Work Step by Step

We can find the frequency produced by the whistle as: $f = \frac{v_{snd}}{4L}$ $f = \frac{343~m/s}{(4)(0.0710~m)}$ $f = 1208~Hz$ We then find the frequency received by a stationary observer: $f' = \frac{f}{1+\frac{v_{source}}{v_{snd}}}$ $f' = \frac{1208~Hz}{1+\frac{25~m/s}{343~m/s}}$ $f' = 1126~Hz$
