Texts: Two violins are playing the same note A, but one is slightly sharp (higher frequency). You hear the loudness of the combined tone vary with three loud peaks every second. If one violin is tuned to A 440 Hz, what is the frequency of the other?

Two identical strings on different cellos are tuned to the 440 -Hz A note. The peg holding one of the strings slips, so its tension is decreased by $1.5 \% .$ What is the beat frequency heard when the strings are then played together?
Two identical strings on different cellos are tuned to the 400-hertz A note. The peg holding one of the strings slips, so its tension is decreased by 1.7%. What is the beat frequency heard when the strings are then played together?
