Two equal and opposite parallel forces, ...

Two equal and opposite parallel forces, each of magnitude 40 N form a couple. The magnitude of the couble is 100 Nm. What is the perpendicular distance between their lines of action?

A

2m

B

2.5m

C

3m

D

3.5m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Magnitude of the couple (torque)= `Fxxr`
`:. 100=40xxr:.r = 2.5m`
