Answer
(a) In the figure below, the force on the ball is the weight W acting vertically downwards and the force on the thread is the tension T acting upwards.
(b) No, the couple acting on a rigid body cannot produce translatory motion, it can cause only rotatory motion as the resultant force is zero.
