Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the Sun set over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the
top of the Sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H = 1.70 m, and stop the watch when the top of the Sun again disappears. If the elapsed time is t = 11.1 s, what is the radius r of Earth?

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Beat
The Beat is an acoustic phenomenon that is generated by two sine waves interfering with slightly different frequencies. The beat frequency is equal to the difference in the frequencies of the two original waves:
Our values are given as
For the particular case we have two possible frequencies:
Therefore the two possibles frequencies of the other players note are 437.9Hz and 442.1Hz
