Question

Solve the couple problem and Draw the figure 

308. A force of 50 pounds acts eastward and a
force of 50 pounds acts westward. Will there be
motion ?
That depends, as will easily be seen, upon the position of the
forces. If they act on the two ends of a rope there wil be no mo-
tion. If they act one on the northerly part of a brake wheel and
one on the southerly part there will be motion,-that of rotation.
Such forces produce a
COUPLE: two equal, opposite, parailel forces not acting in the
same straight line.
The tendency to motion by couples is not of translation but of
rotation. The measure of this tendency is,-
Moment of a couple equals the product of one of the two forces
x perpendicular distance between them.
What is the resultant of a couple of nmoment 15,
and a force 3 ?
