The lever arm of torque is the perpendicular distance between the pivot point of the object and the line of action of the force applied to it. It determines the effectiveness of the force in rotating an object around its pivot point. A longer lever arm results in greater torque.

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 lever arm in torque and how does it affect the rotational force applied to an object?

The lever arm in torque is the distance between the pivot point and the point where the force is applied. A longer lever arm increases the torque and rotational force applied to an object, while a shorter lever arm decreases the torque and rotational force.


How does the lever arm work?

The lever arm is the perpendicular distance between the pivot point of a lever and the line of action of a force applied to it. It determines the torque produced by the force acting on the lever. A longer lever arm results in a greater torque for the same amount of force applied.


What is the torque of a force of 17 N with a lever arm of 2.6 m?

The torque can be calculated using the formula: torque = force * lever arm. Therefore, the torque will be 17 N * 2.6 m = 44.2 Nm.


Where should a force be applied to a lever arm to produce the most torque?

A force should be applied at the end of the lever arm farthest from the fulcrum to produce the most torque. This maximizes the lever arm length, resulting in a greater moment arm for the force and thus higher torque.


How may the torque of a given force be increased?

To increase the torque of a given force, you can increase the distance from the pivot point (lever arm). This is because torque is the product of force and lever arm length. Increasing either the force or the lever arm length will increase the torque.


The product of force and lever-arm distance in producing rotation is?

In a lever, the product of effort and effort arm is called Moment of effort and product of load and load arm is called Moment of load. In general case, as asked in the question, "The Product of force and lever-arm distance is called Moment of Force"the Moment of Force isn't correct its {Torque}


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.


What is the effect of the length of a lever arm in the pull force?

The longer the lever arm, the less force is required to move an object because the longer lever arm provides a mechanical advantage. This is based on the principle of torque, where force is multiplied by the lever arm length to produce rotational motion.


Where would place a fulcrum of a lever if you had to lify a heavy load?

A fulcrum would be placed as close to the heavy load as possible. This minimizes the lever arm (and thus minimizes the torque) for the load while maximizing the lever arm (and thus maximizing the torque) for the force you must apply.


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.


In what direction should a force be applied to produce maximum torque?

In a perpendicular direction to the rotating body.
