In the first case the torque i- consideredto be negative and in the second case positive. 38 ANALYTICAL .MECHANICS 46. Equal Couples. Two cou-ples are equal when the vectorswhich represent their torques areequal in… … PROBLEMS. 1. Find the direction and magnitude of the resultant torque of threecouples of equal magnitude the forces of which act along the edges of thebases of a right prism. The bases of the prism are equilateral triangles. 2. In the preceding problem let the forces have a magnitude of 15pounds…
