Q. If the differential equation given by $\frac{d^{2}y}{dt^{2}} + 2k\frac{dy}{dt} + \omega^{2}y = F_{0}\sin{pt}$ Describes the oscillatory motion of body in a dissipative medium under the influence of a periodic force, then the state of maximum amplitude of the oscillation is a measure of

A) Free vibration
B) Damped vibration
C) Forced vibration
D) Resonance
Explanation

(d) Here, the state of maximum amplitude of the oscillation is a measure of resonance.
