$56$ tuning forks are arranged such that each fork produces $4$ beats per second with its previous one. If the frequency of the last fork is twice that of the first, the frequency of the $19^{\text{th}}$ fork is . . . . . . (in $\text{Hz}$)

Draw graphs of beats produced by two harmonic waves of frequency $11 \ Hz$ and $9 \ Hz$.
