Two loudspeakers, A and B, are driven in phase and with the same amplitude at a frequency of 850Hz. Point P is located 22.5m from A and 24.3m from B. The speed of sound is 340ms-1.

In another experiment, loudspeaker A is stationary and emits sound with a frequency of 850Hz. The microphone is moving directly away from the loudspeaker with a constant speed v. The frequency of sound recorded by the microphone is 845Hz.

Calculate v.
