Two strings, String A and String B, have equal length and tension, but the linear mass density of String A is four times the linear mass density of string B. The speed of the waves in String A is 196 m/s. When the 6 th harmonic in String A and the 10 th harmonic of string B is played simultaneously, a beat frequency of 156 is heard. Both strings must have a length of m. Give your answer to two decimal places.
