Answer:A pair of equal and opposite forces acting on a body is called a couple.
It only gives a rotating effect to the body and the torque due to a couple is
given by τ=Fd
where F is equal to the magnitude of one of the forces and
d is the distance between their points of application.
To produce a non-zero angular acceleration , the torque on the body must be non zero.
Hence , the couple can give a non-zero angular acceleration to the body
only when the distance between the points of applications of the forces is non-zero.
