When a tuning fork and a note are sounded together why do you loosen the string?

The purpose of a tuning fork is to know the exact pitch of a certain note, and then tune to that note. The string is probably loosened to match the pitch of the tuning fork.

A 1056-Hz tuning fork is sounded at the same time a piano note is struck You hear three beats per second What is the frequency of the piano string?
Could be 259 Hz.Could be 267 Hz.
What frequency would you hear with a 340 Hz tuning fork near a guitar string vibrating at 350 Hz?
340 hz is the pitch or note that is sounding. It's the times the string would vibrate per second. By 350 hz guitar, I would get you would be playing a note on the low E string and it would sound sharp to the tuning fork. You would hear a subtle beat or pulsing when sounded together. That beat would get slower and slower as you loosened the string to bring the pitch down until it quit altogether. Your would then have that note tuned to 340 hz. BTW...standard tuning is called A440 meaning that the A note is tuned to 440hz.
Beats are produced when two tuning forks one of frequency 240 Hz and the other of frequency 246 Hz are sounded together The frequency of the beats is?
6Hz

What feature of sound are you adjusting if you tighten or loosen guitar strings?
Tightening the strings increases the pitch, loosening them lowers it. This is because you are changing the length of the string as you turn the tuning pegs.

What is a tuning pin on a piano?
I believe that the tuning pin is the little metal pin where the string is attached, which one needs to turn to adjust the tuning of the string. You use a special tool, called a "tuning hammer" for this (it's not actually any kind of hammer, it's more like a socket-headed wrench).
What does the tuning fork do to produce a sound wave in the air?
Most tuning forks are designed to resonate at 440 hertz when struck. That is the frequency of the A before middle C on a keyboard or the A string on a guitar, violin, etc. You just strike the tuning fork then adjust the tension on your A string until the string vibrates at the same frequency as the tuning fork. Then you tune the rest of your strings from the A string.
How many tuning pegs does a guitar have?

What does one have to adjust to tune a guitar?
When adjusting the tune of the strings on a guitar, one will need to mainly focus on achieving the correct pitch by adjusting the knobs on the headstock for each string. The pitch of every string will be in tune with the frequency of an A440 fork of tuning. Only the A string will be in tune with the frequency of a tuning fork at concert / 440 pitch. All other strings are tuned relative to the A string. Turn the tuning keys to adjust the string. tightening the string will adjust the note higher loosening the string will make the note lower.
