A third class lever does this, such as a fishing rod with a fulcrum on the angler's hip.

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.


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.


Is a domino a type of lever?

Yes, it is a 3rd Class Lever.


How is it possible for a small force on one side of a lever to balance a large force on the other side?

A lever relies on the principle of torque, where the product of force and distance from the pivot point must be equal on both sides to achieve balance. By increasing the distance from the fulcrum, a smaller force can counteract a larger force on the other side of the lever. This relationship allows for mechanical advantage and force multiplication.


What is the trade off of a lever?

The trade-off of a lever is that it allows for easier movement of an object in exchange for a shorter distance covered. This means that a small force applied over a longer distance on one end can move a larger force over a shorter distance on the other end.

What machine can get a large rock out of the ground?

A large lever can move a boulder by increasing your lifting power. With the fulcrum closer to the boulder and your force exerted farther away, you can lift it. The lever changes a small force exerted over a long path into a large force exerted over a small path.
