An observer moves towards a stationary source of sound with a speed $1/5^{th}$ of the speed of sound. The wavelength and frequency of the source emitted are $\lambda $ and $f$ respectively. The apparent frequency and wavelength recorded by the observer are respectively

When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, it takes time $T$. When the same body slides down from the rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance, it takes time $\alpha {T}$, where $\alpha$ is a constant greater than $1 .$ The co-efficient of friction between the body and the rough plane is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{{x}}}\left(\frac{\alpha^{2}-1}{\alpha^{2}}\right)$ where ${x}=..... .$
