Physics - Rotation Question with Solution | TestHub
These questions consist of two statements each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these Questions you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.
Assertion : A couple does not exert a net force on an object even though it exerts a torque.
Reason : Couple is a pair of two forces with equal magnitude but opposite directions acting simultaneously on a body in different lines of action.
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
The assertion is true because a couple consists of two equal and opposite forces, resulting in zero net force. The reason is also true as it accurately describes a couple. The reason correctly explains why there is no net force, even though there is a torque. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
