State two ways in which resonance differs from forced vibrations.

Solution
An external force or a vibrating system causes another system surrounding it to vibrate with increased amplitude at a specific frequency.
When a system is continually pushed by an external factor, forced vibrations arise.
Difference between resonance and forced vibration:
RESONANCE
FORCED VIBRATIONS
Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when the vibrations of a body are caused by an external periodic force with a frequency that is exactly equal to the body's natural frequency.
The amplitude of the vibrations is very large.
The phenomenon of setting a body (A) into vibration with the help of another body (B).
Forced vibrations are the vibrations of a body that are caused by an external periodic force with a frequency that differs from the body's natural frequency.
The amplitude of vibrations is relatively small.
A body (A) is set into vibrations under the influence of periodic force of body (B).
