When the stem of a vibrating tuning fork is gently pressed on the surface of a table louder sound is heard. Why?

The diagram below shows a wire stretched over a sonometer. Stems of two vibrating tuning forks A and B are touched in turn to the wooden box of the sonometer. It is observed that the paper rider (a small piece of paper folded at the centre) present on the wire flies off when the stem of vibrating tuning fork B is touched to the wooden box but the paper just vibrates when the stem of vibrating tuning fork A is touched to the wooden box. Name the phenomenon when the paper rider just vibrates.

In Fig. , A, B, C and D represent the test tubes each of height 20 cm which are filled with water up to heights of 12 cm, 14 cm, 16 cm and 18 cm respectively. If a vibrating tuning fork is placed over the mouth of test tube D, a loud sound is heard. Describe the observations with the tubes A, B and C when the vibrating tuning fork is placed over the mouth of these tubes.

A wire is stretched between two bridges A and B. A small piece of paper of shape A (called rider) is placed at the middle of the wire. When the stem of a tuning fork P is placed at the bridge A the rider only vibrates, but it flies away when another tuning fork Q is placed. Explain the difference.

When a tuning fork (vibrating) is held close to ear, one hears a faint hum. The same (vibrating tuning fork) is held such that its stem is in contact with the table surface, then one hears a loud sound. Explain.

The stem of a vibrating tuning fork is pressed against a table top. Under what condition does it lead to resonance ?
