Problem

A sonometer wire is in exact unison with a standard tuning fork of 200 Hz200\,\text{Hz}. When the wire is sounded together with another fork of unknown frequency, 55 beats per second are heard. If the tension in the wire is then increased by 21%21\%, the beat frequency becomes 1515 per second. Determine the frequency of the unknown fork.
