Lesson: Chapter 11 — Turning Effect of a Force

11.2. Couple of forces 1 of 12

Question 1

What condition must a body satisfy if a single force is to rotate it?

The right answer is the one marked above.

It must be pivoted or held at one place. Without such a holding, a single force would push the body along instead of turning it.

What the body is made of, or how heavy it is, has nothing to do with it. All that is needed is a fixed axis it can turn about.

Answer the question to continue.
