Question 40

A system of coplanar forces acting on a rigid body is equivalent to a non-zero couple. Which of the following statements about this system is not true?

A

The vector sum of the forces in the system is equal to the zero vector.

B

The sum of the moments of the forces about any point in the plane is constant.
