An observer A located at a distance r_(A)=5.0 m from a ringing tuning fork notes the sound to fade away tau =19 s later than an observer B who is located at a distance r_(B)=50m from the tuning fork. Find the damping coefficient beta of oscillations of the tuning fork. The sound velocity v=340 m//s .
