Question

Give an example in which a small force exerts a large torque. give another example in which a large force exerts a small torque.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the product of force and the perpendicular distance.

If we take a screw driver of small length then we need to apply a large force to open or tighten the screw.

If a screw driver of long arm, then we need to apply small force to open or tighten the screw.

Answer 2

Since the torque involves the product of force times lever arm, a small force can exert a greater torque than a larger force if the small force has a large enough lever arm.

With a large force exerts a small torque is a gate, hinged in its vertical line (axis). When pushed from a point near to the hinge, a very large amount is needed to open the gate.
