8 pts) A guitar string is supposed to be tuned such that it plays an A-note, with a fundamental
(first harmonic) frequency at 440Hz. But it is out of tune and is instead generating a note with a
fundamental frequency at 447Hz. In order to tune the guitar, you change the tension in the
string. If the original tension in the guitar string is given by T, what should the new tension of the
string be to bring the guitar in tune?
A.0.768 x T
B.1.032 x T
C.0.969 x T
D.1.01 x T
E.0.887 x T
