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.

Can centripetal force produce rotation?
no, but rotation can produce centripetal force
Why torque produce by centripetal force is zero?
because angle between r n F is zero, both r parallel.
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.
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
Is centripetal force a outward force?
No; "centripetal" implies an inward force.
Can centripetal force produce rotation?
no, but rotation can produce centripetal force
Why torque produce by centripetal force is zero?
because angle between r n F is zero, both r parallel.
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.

Is centripetal force a outward force?
No; "centripetal" implies an inward force.
What is the tendency of a force to produce rotation is called?
Torque
How centripetal force equals to gravitational force?
The centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force when a particular body is in a circle. For a body that is in an orbit, the gravitational force is equivalent to the centripetal force.
What human body part may produce torque?
Any time there is a force, there can be torque.
What is the meaning of centripetal force?
Answer It is the force which keeps a body moving in circular motion. Centripetal force is the force that acts opposite to cetrifugal force. Centripetal force is a real force. Centrifugal force is a pseudo-force
Is centripetal force equal to gravitational force in working of a satillite?
The gravitational force IS the centripetal force in this case.
