A couple produces
- A no motion
- B linear and rotational motion
- C purely rotational motion
- D purely linear motion
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) purely rotational motion
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
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.
