Problem 16

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=1λFTmLf^{\prime}=\frac{1}{\lambda}\sqrt{\frac{F_{T}^{\prime}}{\frac{m}{L}}} ], where ff^{\prime} is the new frequency, and FTF^{\prime}_{T} is the new tension.
