A suspension bridge is to be built across valley where it is known that the wind can gust at $5 \,s$ intervals. It is estimated that the speed of transverse waves along the span of the bridge would be $400 \,m / s$. The danger of resonant motions in the bridge at its fundamental frequency would be greater if the span had a length of .......... $m$
