Problem

A sonometer wire under tension of 64 N64\text{ N}, vibrating in its fundamental mode, is in resonance with a vibrating tuning fork. The vibrating portion of the sonometer wire has a length of 10 cm10\text{ cm} and mass of 1 g1\text{ g}. The vibrating tuning fork is now moved away from the vibrating wire with a constant speed, and an observer standing near the sonometer hears one beat per second. Calculate the speed with which the tuning fork is moved, if the speed of sound in air is 300 m s−1300\text{ m s}^{-1}.
