उत्तर
| Free vibrations | Farced vibrations |
| 1. When a body vibrates with its natural frequency and ti me period which is characteristic of the body itself, it is said to have free vibrations. | 1. When a body is set into vibrations with the help of a strong periodic force then the vibration is said to be forced vibration. The frequency of such vibrations may not be equal to the natural frequency of the body. |
| 2. It is difficult to realize such vibrations in practice. They can take place only in vacuum. | 2. Such vibrations can be realized in practice. |
