What do you understand by forced vibrations?

उत्तर
Sometimes to keep a body vibrating, a periodic force is applied to it. In such a case, the body does not vibrate with its own natural frequency but gradually starts vibrating with the frequency of the applied periodic force. Such vibrations produced in a body are called forced vibrations, e.g., in a string of musical instruments, when the vibrations producing a loud sound.

Name the phenomenon involved in tunning a radio set to a particular station
The diagram above shows a wire stretched over a sonometer. Stems of two vibrating tuning forks A and Bare touched to the wooden box of the sonometer. It is observed that the paper rider (a small piece of paper folded at the centre) present on the wire flies off when the stem of vibrating tuning fork B is touched to the wooden box but the paper just vibrates when the stem of vibrating tuning fork A is touched to the wooden box.
1) Name the phenomenon when the paper rider just vibrates.
2) Name the phenomenon when the paper rider flies off.
3) Why does the paper rider fly off when the stem of tuning fork B is touched to the box?
