उत्तर
(i) In resonance it is necessary that the frequency of externally applied force should be equal to the natural frequency of the body whereas, it is not necessary for forced vibrations.
(ii) In forced oscillations, the amplitude of oscillations is small whereas, in resonance the amplitude of vibration is large.
