    A sonometer wire under tension of 64N vibrating in its fundamental mode is in resonance with a vibrating tuning fork. The vibrating portion of that sonometer wire has a length of 10cm and a mass of 1 gm. The vibrating tuning fork is now moved away from the vibrating wire with a constant speed and an observer standing near sonometer hears one beat per second. The speed with which the tuning fork is moved is 752 xx 10^(-y) (speed of sound in air is 300 m/s). Then y
