Expert Solution
Step 1

vo=Velocity of observer=22 km/h=223.6=6.11 m/svs=Velocity of the siren=372 Hzv=Speed of sound in air=338 m/sf'=Actual frequency=372 Hz

 

Step 2

The observed frequency is given by

f=f'(v±vov±vs)

Since the observer is moving away from the source of the sound we subtract the observer's velocity

f=372(3386.11343+0)=360 Hz

The frequency observed by observer B is 360 Hz
