A moment of couple has a tendency to rotate the body in an anticlockwise direction. Then the moment of couple is taken as :
- positive
- negative
- maximum
- zero
Answer
positive
Reason — Conventionally, if the effect on the body is to turn it anticlockwise, the moment of couple is called anticlockwise moment and it is taken positive, while if the effect on the body is to turn it clockwise, the moment of couple is called clockwise moment and it is taken negative.
