I'm assuming this is a mastering physics problem...
to answer bluntly, no there is technically no torque on the satellite. However- there IS a force that torque exerts on the satellite, yet because it lies at an angle (theta) of either 0 degrees or 180 degrees from the axis of rotation, when you go to calculate the magnitude of torque (torque=Fsin(theta) ) the sin(theta) value will come out to be a factor of 0, giving you "no" torque.
I hope this helps
What else can I help you with?
Is torque produce in satellite due to gravity?
A satellite small enough to be treated as a point particle. Can earth's gravity exert a torque on a satellite about the earth's center? Torque causes an object to rotate around a specific point. Torque = force * perpendicular distance and Torque = moment of Inertia * angular acceleration. When a satellite is launched, it is forced up to a specific distance from the earth's center and accelerated to a specific velocity parallel to the surface of the earth. The satellite continues moving in circular orbit. The force which causes the satellite to move in a circular path is the gravitational force caused by the mass of the earth, mass of the satellite, and distance from the center of mass of the earth to the center of mass of the satellite. This force causes the direction of the velocity to rotate so it is always tangent to the circle. This force produces the torque which makes causes the satellite to rotate so the direction of its velocity is always perpendicular to the direction of the gravitational force.
Earth exerts a gravitational force of 7000 N on one of the communications satellites What force does the satellite exert on earth?
7000 N. The force of gravitation is mutual, and is always equal on both members of a pair of masses.In other words, within my gravitational field, the earth weighs 185 pounds.
What force do the sun and the moon exert on the earth?
They exert Gravitational Force on each other. It is a force which is directly proportional to Mass of the object
What provides the force that causes the centripetal acceleratoin of the satellite in orbit?
The force that provides the centripetal acceleration for a satellite in orbit is the gravitational force between the satellite and the celestial body it is orbiting, such as Earth. This gravitational force acts as the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in its circular path around the celestial body.
How much mass does a celestial object have to have to exert gravitational force?
There is no minimum mass at which point an object (celestial or otherwise) begins to have a gravitational force. Any object with mass has an associated gravitational force. The magnitude of that force is proportional to to the mass of the object - lots of mass results in lots of gravitational force; little masses result in only little gravitational force.

What direction of the gravitational force and centripetal force on a satellite?
The gravitational force on a satellite is towards the center of the Earth. The gravitational force IS the centripetal force is this case, so the centripetal force pulls the satellite towards the center of the Earth. There is no balancing force that pulls the satellite outwards (if there were, it wouldn't accelerate, i.e., change direction).

Do Objects of any size exert a gravitational force.?
If the object having some mass then for sure it exert a gravitational force.The more the mass the more will be gravity.

They exert Gravitational Force on each other. It is a force which is directly proportional to Mass of the object

Do The Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other?
Yes, the Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other. This force is responsible for the Moon orbiting around the Earth.
Is centripetal force equal to gravitational force in working of a satillite?
No, centripetal force is the force required to keep an object moving in a circular path, while gravitational force is the force of attraction between two objects due to their mass. In the case of a satellite orbiting a planet, the centripetal force required to keep the satellite in orbit is provided by the gravitational force between the satellite and the planet.
Why are not attracted to the wall by gravitational force?
Humans are not attracted to walls by gravitational force because walls do not have sufficient mass to exert a noticeable gravitational pull on us. The force of gravity is proportional to the mass of an object, so walls, being much less massive than the Earth, do not exert a significant gravitational force on us.
Does the earth and the moon exert a gravitational force on each other?
no they don't
Out of the Sun Earth the Moon and a Book which one exert the stronget gravitational force on you?
The Earth exerts the greatest gravitational force on you because it is the most massive object you are closest to. The Earth exerts a force equal to your weight. The other objects exert gravitational forces but are not very noticeable because they are either low in mass or separated from you by great distance.
