Two tuning forks A and B lying on opposite sides of observer O and of natural frequency 80 Hz move with velocity 10 m s-1 relative to stationary observer O. Fork A moves away from the observer while the fork B move towards him. A wind with a speed 10 m s-1 is blowing towards fork A from B. Find the beat frequency measured by the observer in Hz. [Take speed of sound in air as 340 m s-1 ]

An open organ pipe containing air resonates in fundamental mode due to a tuning fork. The measured values of length (in cm ) of the pipe and radius r (in cm ) of the pipe are =94±0.1, r=5±0.05. The velocity of the sound in air is accurately known. The maximum percentage error in the measurement of the frequency of that tuning fork by this experiment is given by x%. Find the value of 100x.
