    A resonance tube is old and has jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine velocity of sound in air. A tuning fork of frequency $512\,Hz$ produces first resonance when the tube is filled with water to a mark $11\,cm$ below a reference mark, near the open end of the tube. The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency $256\,Hz$ which produces first resonance when water reaches a mark $27\,cm$ below the reference mark. The velocity of sound in air, obtained in the experiment, is close to .... $ms^{-1}$
