A moment, M, is a rotational force measured in inch pounds; a couple is two forces, P, acting in opposite directions and separated by a distance, d. The product Pd is the couple and is measured in inch -pounds, and is an equivalent moment.

Why is the moment of a couple a free vector?

A couple is a mechanical term defined as a system of forces that produces a resultant moment but not a resultant force. The moment caused by a couple is different than the moment caused by a single force. The moment of a force is dependent upon a reference point (i.e. if this reference point changes the moment also changes), therefore it is a fixed (or bound) vector. However, the moment (or torque) of a couple is independent of a reference point. In other words any reference point will give the same torque. This fact is proven in Varignon's Second Moment Thereom. Since the moment (or torque) of a couple is independent of a reference point, it may be represented as a free vector. This means that the vector may be freely moved in space.


What is between moment of force and moment of couple?

Between a moment of force and a moment of couple lies the concept of torque. Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate around an axis and is often used interchangeably with moments in mechanics. Moments of force and moments of couple are specific types of torques that act in different ways to produce rotational effects.

What is couple moment?

A couple moment is a force that results in rotational motion around an axis, but it does not produce translation. It involves two equal and opposite forces acting parallel to each other but in opposite directions and at different points. Couple moments are important in structural engineering, mechanics, and physics.

Is couple vector or scalar quantity?

A couple is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude (related to the moment of force) and direction (related to the axis of rotation).
