What is a Force?
We can define a FORCE as a push or a pull due to
the interaction between objects which produces
or tends to produce motion; stops or tends to
stop motion; changes or tends to change motion.
Moment = Fd
The Torque of a couple
When a driver turns a steering wheel, he exerts
two equal but opposite forces on it. The two
forces form a couple. The turning effect of a
couple is the sum of moment of the two forces.
The moment of a couple is called a torque.
