$A$ piano string $1.5 \, m$ long is made of steel of density $7.7 \times 10^3 \, kg/m^3$ and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$. It is maintained at a tension which produces an elastic strain of $1 \%$ in the string. The fundamental frequency of transverse vibrations of the string is ......... $Hz$.
