A car has a steering wheel of diameter to cm. It is turned with anti-parallel forces of a magnitude of 4 N each. Calculate the moment of couple.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Diameter of the steering wheel of the car = perpendicular distance between the pair of forces = 30 cm
= 0.3 m
Applied force = 4 N
`:.` Moment of the couple = Force `xx` perpendicular distance
`=4xx0.3`
`=1.2 N ` m.
