Problem

A guitar string is plucked simultaneously with a 400 Hz tuning fork, and 3 beats per second are heard. After the string is tightened slightly (raising its frequency), the beat rate with the same fork becomes 7 beats per second. Determine the original frequency of the guitar string before tightening.
