MCQ
A couple is acting on a two particle systems. The resultant motion will be:
- APurely rotational motion.
- BPurely linear motion.
- CBoth A and B.
- DNone of these.
✓
Answer
- Purely rotational motion.
Explanation:
A couple consists of two equal and opposite forces whose lines of action are parallel and laterally separated by the some distance.
Therefore, net force (or resultant) of a couple is null vector, hence there is no translational acceleration, only rotational motion will be there.
