27. A tuning fork that vibrates at a frequency 680 Hz is placed over an 80-centimeter-long cylinder that is completely filled with water. The water is then allowed to drain out, creating an air column of varying length above the surface of the water and inside the cylinder. Find the distances d between the top of the cylinder and the surface of the water for which the air column will resonate at 680 Hz. Assume that the speed of sound is 340 m/s.
