Question: The G string on a guitar, when properly tuned, should vibrate at in its first harmonic ( which is the dominant harmonic you hear when

The G string on a guitar, when properly tuned, should vibrate at in its first harmonic (which is the dominant harmonic you hear when you pluck the string). Suppose two identical guitars with identical strings are tuned properly at first. Later, the tension in the G string of one of the guitars is decreased slightly so that when the two G strings are now played simultaneously, a beat can be heard. By what percent did the tension change? (the percent change will be positive for an increase and negative for a decrease)
