Chapter 23, Problem 57SP
An organ pipe is tuned to emit a frequency of 196.00 Hz. When it and the G string of a violin are sounded together, ten beats are heard in a time of exactly 8 s. The beats become slower as the violin string is slowly tightened. What was the original frequency of the violin string?
