what do you understand by the natural vibration of the body? give one example.

Answer 1

Hey Friend,

Natural Vibration or Free Vibration -

1. The vibrations produced in a body, on being slightly disturbed from its mean position.

2. The periodic vibrations of a body of constant amplitude in the absence of any external force.

3. These vibrations are possible in the absence of any medium i.e. in vaccum.

4. Examples -
    * A freely suspended pendulum vibrating about its mean position
    * A tuning fork on being struck on rubber pad
    * Strings of various musical instruments on being plucked.

Note - The above examples are taking place in vaccum.

Hope it helps!
