QUESTION:
CP A police siren of frequency fsiren is attached to a vibrating platform. The platform and siren oscillate up and down in simple harmonic motion with amplitude Ap and frequency fp. (a) Find the maximum and minimum sound frequencies that you would hear at a position directly above the siren. (b) At what point in the motion of the platform is the maximum frequency heard? The minimum frequency? Explain.
ANSWER:Solution 76P Let us have a look at the figure below to understand the situation given in the question. Angular velocity = 2f p Amplitude of vibration = A p Linear velocity of the platform with the siren is v = A 2f p p v = 2A f p p Let us now calculate the frequencies in each case during the vibration of the system. (a) When the siren a
