A tuning fork vibrating with a frequency of $512$ $\mathrm{Hz}$ is kept close to the open end of a tube filled with water. The water level in the tube is gradually lowered. When the water level is $17$ $\mathrm{cm}$ below the open end, maximum intensity of sound is heard. If the room temperature is $20^{°}$ $\mathrm{C}$, calculate :
