Problem

A tuning fork AA of unknown frequency produces 77 beats per second with a standard 300 Hz300\,\text{Hz} tuning fork BB. When a small piece of wax is attached to fork AA, its frequency decreases by 2 Hz2\,\text{Hz} and now 55 beats per second are heard with fork BB. Determine the original frequency of fork AA.
