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

Where should a force be applied to a lever arm to produce the most torque?

Farthest away from the pivot point.


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.


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.


The product of force and lever-arm distance in producing rotation is?

In a lever, the product of effort and effort arm is called Moment of effort and product of load and load arm is called Moment of load. In general case, as asked in the question, "The Product of force and lever-arm distance is called Moment of Force"the Moment of Force isn't correct its {Torque}


Deduce an expression for the torque develop by the armature of a dc motor?

he magnitude of torque depends on three quantities: First, the force applied; second, the length of the lever arm[4] connecting the axis to the point of force application; and third, the angle between the two. In symbols:whereτ is the torque vector and τ is the magnitude of the torque,r is the displacement vector (a vector from the point from which torque is measured to the point where force is applied), and r is the length (or magnitude) of the lever arm vector,F is the force vector, and F is the magnitude of the force,× denotes the cross product,θ is the angle between the force vector and the lever arm vector.


Why a door can be closed or opened easily by applying force at any point away from the pivot?

When a force rotates something about an axis is called moment of force or torque. Torque = Length of lever arm x Force From this equation you can see that as the length of the lever arm increases, the torque increases. That is why if you try to push or open the door near the pivot, you will need more force to rotate it. Hope this helps.


What is the unit of torque?

the unit of torque is NM.Torque has dimensions of force times distance. Official SI literature suggests using the unit newton metre (N·m) or the unit joule per radian.[8] The unit newton metre is properly denoted N·m or N m.Torque, moment or moment of force is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis.The magnitude of torque depends on three quantities: the force applied, the length of the lever arm[2] connecting the axis to the point of force application, and the angle between the force vector and the lever arm. In symbols:whereτ is the torque vector and τ is the magnitude of the torque,r is the displacement vector (a vector from the point from which torque is measured to the point where force is applied), and r is the length (or magnitude) of the lever arm vector,F is the force vector, and F is the magnitude of the force,× denotes the cross product,θ is the angle between the force vector and the lever arm vector.


Where would place a fulcrum of a lever if you had to lify a heavy load?

A fulcrum would be placed as close to the heavy load as possible. This minimizes the lever arm (and thus minimizes the torque) for the load while maximizing the lever arm (and thus maximizing the torque) for the force you must apply.


Part of a lever on which effort force is applied?

Third class.


What is the term for newton meter?

A Newton meter (N·m) is the SI unit for torque, force applied to the lever arm x the length of the lever arm. A Joule, the unit for energy or work, is also a N·m.


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.


What do you call the turning effect of a force?

torque. Torque = force * moment arm
