forced mechanical oscillations

Forced mechanical oscillations refer to the phenomenon where a mechanical system is subjected to an external force that causes it to deviate from its natural equilibrium position and oscillate back and forth. This force is typically applied at a specific frequency and amplitude, resulting in the system vibrating with a frequency corresponding to the applied force. The interaction between the external force and the inherent properties of the system determines the amplitude and frequency of the oscillations.
