Q

What is a Couple

A

A couple is a pair of forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction applied at points separated by distances perpendicular to the forces. The combined moment of the forces produces a torque on the object they act on.

Q

Couple Formula

A

Torque (T) = Force (N) x Distance (s) T = F x s

Torque (T) = Force (N) x Radius (r) x 2 T = Fr^2

Note that the factor of 2 in the second equation above is due to this being for a force couple.

For one force at a distance from the centre of rotation, this becomes a moment equation.
