A couple produces

Question

A couple produces (A) No motion (B) Linear and rotational motion (C) Purely rotational motion (D) Purely linear 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.
