Two out-of-tune flutes play the same note. One produces a tone that has a frequency of 242 Hz, while the other produces 285 Hz. When a tuning fork is sounded together with the 242-Hz tone, a beat frequency of 19.0 Hz is produced. When the same tuning fork is sounded together with the 285-Hz tone, a beat frequency of 24.0 Hz is produced. What is the frequency of the tuning fork? Number Units

A violin string ? = 31.6 cm long and ? = 0.65 g⁄m linear mass density is tuned to play a La4 note at 440.0 Hz. This means that the string is at its fundamental oscillation mode, that is, you will be on that note without placing a finger on it. From this information: C. If we compare the current La4 note of 440.0 Hz with the La4 note of 422.5 Hz from Handel's time, By what percentage should the tension of the violin string vary with respect to the current to tune the note to 422.5 Hz?
