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.

yes; torque is force times perpendicular distance which is the arm length; if you increase the length you increase the torque so a small force at long length can be greater torque than big force at a smaller length

Power does not depend on the force alone.

Work = force x distance

Power = work / time

So basically, the power is the force multiplied by the speed.

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.


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.


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 a constant force would affect two objects of different masses?

A force on a large mass will accelerate it less than the same force on a smaller mass.


How would a constant force would affect two objects of different?

A force on a large mass will accelerate it less than the same force on a smaller mass.

What is the function of a jackscrew?
