Question: The product of force of couple with the arm of the couple is called?
The product of force of a couple with the arm of the couple is called the moment of the couple or simply the couple moment. It is a measure of the rotational effect of a couple, which is two parallel forces with equal magnitudes acting in opposite directions on a body but not along the same line. The moment of the couple can be calculated as the magnitude of one of the forces multiplied by the perpendicular distance between the forces, which is also called the arm of the couple. The moment of the couple is a vector quantity and its direction is perpendicular to the plane containing the forces and the arm of the couple, according to the right-hand rule.
