Solution
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.
