The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the information given about the tuning forks and their frequencies. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Arrangement of Tuning Forks**: - We have 32 tuning forks arranged in order of increasing frequency. - Let the frequency of the first tuning fork be denoted as \( f \). 2. **Frequency of the Last Tuning Fork**: - According to the problem, the frequency of the last tuning fork is double that of the first. Therefore, the frequency of the last tuning fork can be expressed as: \[ f_{last} = 2f \] 3. **Beats Produced by Consecutive Forks**: - The problem states that 6 beats per second are produced by each pair of consecutive forks. This implies that the difference in frequency between any two consecutive forks is 6 Hz. - Thus, if the frequency of the first fork is \( f \), the frequency of the second fork will be: \[ f_2 = f + 6 \] - Continuing this pattern, we can express the frequency of the \( n \)-th fork as: \[ f_n = f + (n-1) \times 6 \] - For the 32nd fork (last fork), we have: \[ f_{32} = f + 31 \times 6 \] 4. **Setting Up the Equation**: - We know from the earlier step that \( f_{last} = 2f \). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ f + 31 \times 6 = 2f \] 5. **Solving for \( f \)**: - Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ 31 \times 6 = 2f - f \] \[ 186 = f \] - Thus, the frequency of the first tuning fork is \( f = 186 \) Hz. 6. **Finding the Frequency of the Last Fork**: - Now, substituting \( f \) back into the equation for the last fork: \[ f_{last} = 2f = 2 \times 186 = 372 \text{ Hz} \] 7. **Expressing the Last Fork's Frequency**: - The problem states that the frequency of the last fork is given as \( n \times 186 \). Therefore, we can write: \[ n \times 186 = 372 \] - Dividing both sides by 186 gives: \[ n = \frac{372}{186} = 2 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( n \) is \( 2 \). ---
