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.

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 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.


Can a torque be balanced by a single force?

The effect of a torque is to produce angular acceleration and that of the force is to produce linear acceleration. Since the effects of both torque and force are entirely different, therefore, a torque cannot be balanced by a single force.


How it is possible for a large force to produce only a small or even zero torque?

A large force can produce a small or zero torque if the force is applied at a point where the lever arm (distance from the point of rotation to the line of action of the force) is very small or zero. Torque is calculated as force multiplied by lever arm, so a small lever arm can result in a small or zero torque even with a large force.


Can a small force produce a greater torque than a large force?

Yes, a small force applied at a greater distance from the pivot point can produce a greater torque than a large force applied closer to the pivot point. This is because torque is the product of force and distance.


What is the tendency of a force to produce rotation is called?

The tendency of a force to produce rotation is called torque. It is a measure of the force's ability to make an object rotate around an axis.


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.


Can a force produce a torque when there is no lever arm?

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


What is the term for the maximum rotational force that an engine can produce?

Torque


What is a force that produces or tends to produce rotation or torsion?

Torque is the force that produces or tends to produce rotation or torsion in an object. It is a measure of the twisting or turning force applied to an object. Torque is calculated as the product of the force and the distance from the point of rotation.


What is a force that produces or tends to produce ratation or torsion?

A torque is a force that produces or tends to produce rotation or torsion. It is a twisting force that causes an object to rotate around an axis. Torque is measured in units of force multiplied by distance, such as newton-meters.


What is motor rated torque?

It is the twisting force that a motor can produce when it is running.
