The diameter of the water pipe is 22 mm and the length from the open end to the valve is 80 m. Water flows in the pipe, but the valve closes abruptly, creating a pressure wave in the pipe. Calculate the fundamental frequency of this pressure wave when the speed of sound in the pipe (water) is 1320 m / s. Enter the answers rounded to the nearest whole number. The fundamental frequency is
