$A$ student is experimenting with a resonance tube apparatus in a Physics lab to find the speed of sound at room temperature. He obtained the first two resonating lengths of the air column as $17 \, cm$ and $51 \, cm$,using a tuning fork of frequency $512 \, Hz$. Find the speed of sound at room temperature in $m/s$.
