Question

Define a couple. in physics

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Couple, in mechanics, pair of equal parallel forces that are opposite in direction. The only effect of a couple is to produce or prevent the turning of a body.

Answer 2

A couple consists of two parallel forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in sense and do not share a line of action. For example, the forces that two hands apply to turn a steering wheel are often (or should be) a couple. Each hand grips the wheel at points on opposite sides of the shaft.
