A "couple" is a set of opposing, equal magnitude, and distinct lines of action acting forces. When a couple applies force to a rigid object, the couple generates a torque that is independent of the axis' location. The illustration depicts two forces working perpendicular to the tire wrench on a pair. Find an equation for the torque the pair produces when the axis passes through and is perpendicular to the tire. (a) point A, (b) point B, and (c) point C. Explain your responses in terms of the force's magnitude F and the length. Loof the spanner

Katie made an error in the last calculation: the torqueis again positive FL N-m.
This shows that the torque due to a couple is independent ofthe axis of rotation.
