Can a small force ever exert a greater torque than a larger force?

Of course. Torque is the product of the (force) times (its distance from the axle). If the force you have doesn't produce enough torque, you simply apply the same force farther from the axle, and that increases the torque. That's why, if you can't crack the nut with the wrench you have and the strength you have, you slip a piece of pipe over the handle and make the wrench look twice as long. In that way, you have temporarily transformed the wrench into a "Persuader", and the nut is highly likely then to be persuaded. If you can arrange for the small force to be exerted at a long enough distance from the axle, it can apply as much or more torque than the larger force can when applied closer in.


When you standing on the floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet How much force does it exert?

Because your feet are not accelerating, the force exerted by the floor upon your feet must be exactly the same as the force exerted by your feet on the floor. If you are standing, the amount of force exerted by your feet, and thus the amount of force exerted by the floor, is equivalent to your weight.


How much force is the wall exerting on the rope?

That depends on the specific situation. Note that by Newton's Third Law, the force exerted by a wall on a rope is the same as the force exerted by the rope on the wall.

What insect has more muscles than a human?

Why does a screwdriver allow you to turn a screw you couldn't turn by hand?

A screwdriver allows you to exert more torque on a screw. Torque is defined as the product of the force exerted and the distance from the center of rotation. Torque is essentially a rotational force. It is simple to increase torque, simply increase the distance from the center that the force is being applied, and there is greater torque without increasing your effort. The handle is made to be wide, so that a greater torque can be exerted. It is also much easier to grip a screwdriver than it is to grip a screw. That also plays a factor.
