Question

With the help of examples differentiate between free oscillations and forced oscillations.

✓

Answer

In the absence of air resistance, a pendulum oscillates freely but another pendulum dipped in a liquid oscillates only when external force exists. Oscillations which exist by the use of an external force overcoming any loss of energy are called forced oscillations.
