Question
A body is acted upon by two forces of magnitude F, but in opposite directions. State the effect of the force if the two forces act at two different points of the body at a separation r.

Solution
The forces tend to rotate the body about the midpoint between two forces: Moment of forces = Fr. Resultant force = 0.
