(1) An unbalanced unbalanced couple acting on a rigid body hanges its state of rotation, i.e., it produces rotational or angular acceleration. Since the resultant of the forces constituting a couple is zero, the body remains in translational equilibrium. Hence, a couple has only a turning effect.
(2) The magnitude of the torque due to a couple is equal to the product of the magnitude of one of the forces and the arm of the couple.
(3) The torque due to a couple is a vector along the rotation axis perpendicular to the plane of the couple.
(4) The torque due to a couple about any rotation axis perpendicular to its plane is the same.
