A string 25 cm long and having a mass of 2.5g is under tension. A pipe closed at one end is 40 cm long. When the string is set vibrating in its firsy overtone and the air in the pipe in its fundamental frequency, 8 beats per sec are heard. It is observed that decreasing the tension in the string decreases the beat frequency. If the speed of sound in air is 320 m/s, find the tension in the string.
