By applying the small force farther from the center of rotation.
That's exactly the reason why you need a longer wrench to crack the nut off of
the bolt when it's stuck. It's also exactly the reason why the child sits farther
from the pivot of the see-saw than her father does.

How does a large force produce a small torque and it is possible for a small force to produce a large torque?
Torque is the product of (force) x (distance from the center of rotation).So with a distance from the center that's large enough or small enough,any force can produce as much or as little torque as you want.
How it is possible for a large force to produce only a small or even zero torque?
if large force is applied keeping the minimum moment arm then it produces a very small torque or even no torque.
Can a small force produce a greater torque than a large force?
Can a small force ever exert a greater torque than a larger force? Explain yes it is possible if small force is applied with a larger moment arm(lever arm) as compared to larger force.
Can a force produce a torque when there is no lever arm?
no because to get a torque you must multiply lever arm by force. If lever is zero, then torque is zero
What is the tendency of a force to produce rotation is called?
Torque

How is it possible for a smaller force to hava a large torque?
Yes, it is possible for a smaller force to have a large torque because it is usually located at a much greater distance from the center of rotation. Torque is calculated by multiplying the distance by the force.
How it is possible for a large force to produce only a small or even zero torque?
if large force is applied keeping the minimum moment arm then it produces a very small torque or even no torque.
Can a torque be balanced by a single force?
The effect of a torque is to produce angular acceleration and that of the force is to produce linear acceleration. Since the effects of both torque and force are entirely different, therefore, a torque cannot be balanced by a single force.
Can a small force produce a greater torque than a large force?
Can a small force ever exert a greater torque than a larger force? Explain yes it is possible if small force is applied with a larger moment arm(lever arm) as compared to larger force.

no because to get a torque you must multiply lever arm by force. If lever is zero, then torque is zero

Torque
What human body part may produce torque?
Any time there is a force, there can be torque.
When A force of 5 newton is acting parallel to the moment arm of 10 cm . so what is torque?
In order for a force to produce a torque, either all of it, or a part of it (component) must act perpendicular to the moment arm. If, as in your case, all of the force is parallel to the moment arm then the force can not produce a torque. So the answer is; the torque is zero.
What is the term for the maximum rotational force that an engine can produce?
Torque
What is motor rated torque?
It is the twisting force that a motor can produce when it is running.
How does a lever increase the mechanical advantage?
It has to do with a type of force called torque. When you push down on a lever, the force you push with is multiplied by the length of the lever to produce a torque. If you have a very long lever, then you are multiplying your pushing force by a big number and can produce a big torque. It's an easy way to get a large force with little effort.
