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.
How is it possible for a smaller force to produce a large torque?
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.
Why it is easier to turn a nut if spanner have large handle?
Torque = force x distance (from the axis of rotation). With a larger handle, you need less force to get the same torque.
When you apply a tiny force to a tiny object or a large force to a large object you produce?
When you apply a force to a mass you produce acceleration. "Tiny" and "large" are not well defined here, but the basic equation is F = ma, so if the forces are proportional to the masses in each case (for example, a 0.1 N force applied to a 0.1 g object and a 1000 N force applied to a 1000 g object) then you will produce the same acceleration for both objects.

What is the name of the mechanism that produces the amount of torque?
An angular force would produce a large torque like angular momentum of a spinning wheel.
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.
What is the name of the mechanism that produces the greatest amount of torque?
An angular force would produce a large torque like angular momentum of a spinning wheel.
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 does a lever apply force with advantage?
It applies a small amount of force to produce a large amount of force.
Why do trucks need big engines?
They need torque in order to pull a heavy load. The bigger the engine the more torque it can produce. The use of Turbo Chargers & computer management has made it possible to downsize truck engines somewhat but they are still very large when compared to an automobile engine.

Why do parasites produce large amounts of eggs?
They want to spread as fast as possible.
