Torque is proportional to the distance between the center and the line of force.

Centripetal force acts toward the center along the radius, so the distance between

the center and the line is zero.

Why torque produce by centripetal force is zero?

The torque produced by centripetal force is zero because the force is acting perpendicular to the radius of rotation. Torque is calculated as the force multiplied by the distance from the axis of rotation, and when the force and distance are perpendicular to each other, the torque becomes zero.


Can centripetal force produce rotation?

Yes, centripetal force is required to maintain rotational motion by pulling an object towards the center of the rotation. Without centripetal force, the object would move in a linear path rather than rotating.


Centripetal force can it produce rotation?

A centripetal force is, by definition, a force that makes a body follow a curved path. So, yes, a centripetal force causes rotation about a point in space.


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.


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.


What is the measure of how effectively a force causes rotation?

The measure of how effectively a force causes rotation is torque. Torque is the product of the force applied and the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied. It is a vector quantity that describes the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis.


What is the symbol for centripetal force?

The symbol for centripetal force is "Fc".


What is the formula for the centripetal acceleration force of a mass?

The formula for centripetal acceleration is a = v^2 / r, where a is the centripetal acceleration, v is the velocity of the object, and r is the radius of the circular path. The force required to produce this acceleration is given by F = m * a, where F is the centripetal force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the centripetal acceleration.


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.


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.


What force is always perpendicular to motion?

The force associated with Torque T is always perpendicular to the torque motion, T=FxR.


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
