Couple
- When you use two hands to turn the handlebars of your bicycle or the steering wheel of your car you are applying two parallel forces to the same object.
- These two forces are not in equilibrium because they do not act in the same straight line.
- They are called a couple and have a turning effect or moment.
Important Points
Moment – The moment of a couple is the product of the magnitude of one of the forces F and the perpendicular distance d between the two forces.
M = Force × perpendicular distance
A couple is a pair of force acting on an object on an object which
- Are equal in magnitude and opposite direction
- Do not act along the same straight line
- Apply a moment to the object and so tend to turn it
Do not produce a single resultant force and so do not tend to move it from one position to another
