The string of violin emits a note of 440 Hz at its correct tension. The string is bit taut and produces 4 beats per second with a tuning fork of frequency 440 Hz. Find the frequency of the note emitted by this taut string.

A tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz makes 4 beats per second with the vibrating string of a piano. The beat frequency decreases to 2 beats per sec when the tension in the piano string is slightly increased. The frequency of the piano string before increasing the tension was:
