Two forces forming a couple are separated by a distance of 25cm. If one of the forces equals 40N, what is the moment of the couple?

A.

1000 Nm

B.

500 Nm

C.

10 Nm

D.

5 Nm

E.

1.6 Nm

Correct answer is C

The moment (or torque) of a couple is calculated by multiplying the size of one of the force by the perpendicular distance between the two forces.

Given: F = 40N; d = 25cm = 0.25m

Moment = 40 x 0.25 = 10Nm.
