Clever problem.
We know that the beat frequency is the DIFFERENCE between the frequencies of the two tuning forks. So if Fork-A is 256 Hz and the beat is 6 Hz, then Fork-B has to be EITHER 250 Hz OR 262 Hz. But which one is it ?
Well, loading Fork-B with wax increases its mass and makes it vibrate SLOWER, and when that happens, the beat drops to 5 Hz. That means that when Fork-B slowed down, its frequency got CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A ... their DIFFERENCE dropped from 6 Hz to 5 Hz.
If slowing down Fork-B pushed it CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A, then its natural frequency must be ABOVE Fork-A.
The natural frequency of Fork-B, after it gets cleaned up and returns to its normal condition, is 262 Hz. While it was loaded with wax, it was 261 Hz.
the greater the <u>mass</u> of an object the more force is needed to cause acceleration

The angles in the triangle are 91 degrees, 53 degrees and 36 degrees respectively.
<h3>What is the cosine rule?</h3>
From the cosine rule we know that;
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abcosC
Since;
a = 0.47 m
b = 0.62 m
c = 0.78 m
Then;
(0.78)^2 = (0.47)^2 + (0.62)^2 - 2(0.47 * 0.62)cosC
0.61 = 0.22 + 0.38 - 0.58 cosC
0.61 - ( 0.22 + 0.38) = - 0.58 cosC
0.01 = - 0.58 cosC
C = cos-1(0.01/-0.58)
C = 91 degrees
Using the sine rule;
b/Sin B = c/Sin C
0.62/sinB = 0.78/sin 91
0.62/Sin B = 0.78
B = sin-1 (0.62//0.78)
B = 53 degrees
Angle A is obtained from the sum of angles in a triangle;
180 - (91 + 53)
A = 36 degrees
