$n_{1}=256=\frac{v}{4 \ell_{1}}=\frac{v}{4 \times 25.4}$

$\therefore \mathrm{v}=256 \times 101.6 \mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s}$

$\mathrm{n}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{4 \ell_{2}}=\frac{256 \times 101.6}{4 \times 25.6}=254 \mathrm{Hz}$

No. of $beats/sec$ $=\mathrm{n}_{1}-\mathrm{n}_{2}=256-254=2$

    A string fixed at both ends is in resonance in its $2^{nd}$ harmonic with a tuning fork of frequency $f_1$. Now its one end becomes free. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from $f_1$ then again a resonance is obtained when the frequency is $f_2$. If in this case the string vibrates in $n^{th}$ harmonic then
