A couple produces

Question

A couple produces (A) purely translational motion (B) purely rotational motion (C) both translational and rotational motion (D) no motion

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

A couple consists of two equal and opposite forces acting at a separation, so that net force becomes zero. When a couple acts on a body it rotates the body but does not produce any translatory motion. Hence, only rotational motion is produced.

Q. A couple produces

purely rotational motion

both translational and rotational motion

no motion
