**Question:** What is the moment caused by a couple made up of two 270 lb forces, 2.5 ft apart?**Explanation:**In physics and engineering, a moment (also known as torque) is the measure of the force causing an object to rotate about an axis. A moment is calculated by the product of the force and the distance from the axis (lever arm).For a couple, the moment is calculated using the formula:\[ \text{Moment} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \]In this case:- Each force of the couple is 270 lbs.- The distance between the forces (lever arm) is 2.5 ft.Hence, the moment is:\[ \text{Moment} = 270 \, \text{lb} \times 2.5 \, \text{ft} = 675 \, \text{lb-ft} \]**Answer:** The moment caused by the couple is 675 lb-ft.
