The resistance of a body to change its state of rest is called inertia of rest.
When a car makes a sharp turn, a person leaning sideways is an example of inertia of direction. When a body resists any change in its state of motion, it is called inertia of motion.
A couple is defined as two equal and unlike parallel forces applied simultaneously at two distinct points, which do not produce any translatory motion but cause the rotation of the body. Turning a tap involves two equal and opposite forces applied at different points, which results in the rotation of the tap.
A gear is a mechanical component that consists of a circular wheel with teeth around its rim. It is used to transmit power and change the speed of rotation by changing the torque.
