$A$ rod of length $l$ is acted upon by a couple as shown in the figure. The moment of the couple is $\tau \text{ Nm}$. If the force at each end of the rod is $F$,then the magnitude of each force is (given $\sin 30^{\circ} = \cos 60^{\circ} = 0.5$):

  • A
    $\frac{\tau}{l}$
  • B
    $\frac{l}{2 \tau}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 \tau}{l}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 l}{\tau}$
