Problem

A conveyor belt moves to the right with speed v=300 m/minv = 300 \text{ m/min} . A very fast pieman puts pies on the belt at a rate of 20 per minute and they are received at the other end by a pieeater. (a) If the pieman is stationary find the spacing xx between the pies and the frequency with which they are received by the stationary pieeater. (b) The pieman now walks with speed 30 m/min towards the receiver while continuing to put pies on the belt at 20 per minute. Find the spacing of the pies and the frequency with which they are received by the stationary pieeater.
