Answer

$1.21m$

Work Step by Step

We know that $f=\frac{v}{2L}$ $\implies f=2f_1L_1=2f_2L_2$ Now we can find the length of the string $L_2=\frac{f_1}{f_2}L_1$ We also know that $f_2=f_1+f_{beat}$ $\implies L_2=\frac{f_1}{f_1+f_{beat}}L_1$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $L_2=(\frac{130.9}{130.9+4.33})(1.25)=1.21m$
