(a) A heavy cord is vibrating in its fundamental mode and under a tension of 195 N. When a vibrating tuning fork is placed near the cord, a beat frequency of 4.96 Hz is heard. If the cord is 2.00 m long and has a mass of 0.0100 kg, determine the possible frequencies (in Hz) of the tuning fork. (Round your answers to at least the nearest integer.) lower frequency = ?????Hz higher frequency = ?????Hz   (b) The tension in the cord is now adjusted such that when it vibrates in the fundamental mode, no beats occur when the tuning fork is brought near. Given the two possible tuning fork frequencies found above, determine the two possible tensions (in N) in the cord that will allow this. lower tension = ?????N higher tension = ?????N
