Effect of a couple is

Effect of a couple is
  1. purely linear motion
  2. purely rotational motion
  3. linear and rotational motion
  4. no motion

Solution

A couple mainly comprises of two paralleI forces which are both equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. There is no line of action along which both forces act and hence it produces only rotational motion.
