In the context of a couple of moments, what happens when the distance between the two forces increases?

2. In the context of a couple of moments, what happens when the distance between the two forces increases?

1. The magnitude of the moment decreases
2. The magnitude of the moment increases
3. The moment becomes unstable
4. The direction of the moment changes

Answer

The correct answer is: B) The magnitude of the moment increases

Explanation

The moment produced by a couple is directly proportional to the distance between the two forces. Therefore, if the distance increases, the magnitude of the moment increases as well.
