Mechanical Oscillations

Problem 4.13

A point AA oscillates according to a certain harmonic law in the reference frame KK^{\prime} which in its turn performs harmonic oscillations relative to the reference frame K.K . Both oscillations occur along the same direction. When the KK^{\prime} frame oscillates at the frequency 20 or 24 Hz,24 \mathrm{~Hz}, the beat frequency of the point AA in the KK frame turns out to be equal to vv. At what frequency of oscillation of the frame KK^{\prime} will the beat frequency of the point AA become equal to 2v?2 v ?
