A set of 56 tuning forks is arranged in series of increasing frequencies.If each fork gives 4 beats with preceding one and the frequency of the last in twice that of first ,then frequency of the first fork is

A sonometer wire is in unison with a tuning fork when it is stretched by a weight of specific gravity 9. When the weight is completely immersed in water, 10 beats per second are heard .Calculate the frequency of the tuning fork.

A vibrating string of certain length l under a tension T resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length 75cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency n . Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces 2 per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be 340 m//s , the frequency n of the tuning fork in Hz is
