Problem 15

at will be the beat frequency heard when two guitar strings, initially tuned to the same frequency of 298 Hz, are played together after the tension in one string is decreased by 3.0%? [Hint: f′=1λFT′mLf^{\(\prime\)}=\(\frac{1}{\lambda}\)\(\sqrt{\frac{F_{T}\)^{\(\prime\)}}{\(\frac{m}{L}\)}} ], where f′f^{\(\prime\)} is the new frequency, and FT′F^{\(\prime\)}_{T} is the new tension.
