When two tuning fork were sounded together 5 beats/s were produced, with one fork of frequency 282 cps. On another fork of unknown frequency a little wax is placed and as a result, the pair now produces 3 beats/s. Determine the freqency of the unknown fork.

To solve the problem, we need to determine the frequency of the unknown tuning fork based on the information provided about the beats produced when two tuning forks are sounded together. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Beats:** When two tuning forks are sounded together, the number of beats produced per second is equal to the absolute difference in their frequencies. The formula for beats is: \[ \text{Beats} = |f_1 - f_2| ...
