\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}=20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\mathrm{f}=400 \mathrm{~Hz}
\mathrm{Q} \rightarrow=40 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \quad \mathrm{P} \rightarrow 20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
0\longleftarrow \mathrm{S}
\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{app}}=\left[\frac{\mathrm{Vs}-\left(-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{Q}}\right)}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{S}}-\left(-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{p}}\right)}\right] \mathrm{f}

=\left(\frac{360+40}{360+20}\right) \times 400=\frac{400}{380} \times 400=421 \mathrm{~Hz}
