To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving the tuning forks A and B, and use the information given about the beats produced. ### Step 1: Understand the concept of beats When two tuning forks of slightly different frequencies are sounded together, they produce beats. The number of beats per second is equal to the absolute difference between their frequencies. ### Step 2: Set up the equations based on the information given 1. Let the frequency of tuning fork A be \( f_A = 256 \, \text{Hz} \). 2. Let the frequency of tuning fork B be \( f_B \). ...
