A violinist is tuning the A string on her violin by listening for beats when this note is played simultaneously with a tuning fork of frequency 440 Hz. She hears a beat frequency of 4 Hz. She notices that, when she increases the tension in the string slightly, the beat frequency decreases. What was the frequency of the mistuned A string?

A guitar string of length 105 cm is in resonance with a tuning fork of frequency f. Using the fret board the length of the string is shortened by 1.5 cm while keeping the tension in the string constant. Now a beat frequency of 10 Hz is heard between the string and the tuning fork. What is the frequency of the tuning fork?

A vibrating tuning fork of 850 Hz is held above a tube filled with water. The first and third resonances occur when the water level is lowered by 8.8 cm and 47.6 cm from the top of the tube. If there is a small end correction that adds a small extra length L to the effective length of the air column, calculate L. Assume the speed of sound to be 330 m/s.
