Two tuning forks with națural frequencies 170 Hz each move relative to a stationary observer. One fork moves away from the observer while the other moves towards him at the same speed. The observer hears beats of frequency 2 Hz. Speed of the tuning fork is n m s-1. Write the value of n to the nearest ineteger.

A tube 0.75 m long is closed at one end. A stretched wire is placed near the open end. The wire is 0.25 m long and has a mass of 0.01 kg. It is held fixed at both ends and vibrates in its fundamental mode. It sets the air column in the tube into vibration at its fundamental frequency by resonance. If speed of sound is 330 m s-1 in air then tension in the wire is 11n N. Value of n, is
