Torque is a rotational force that is greater when:Question 9Select one:a.A short moment arm existsb.Force application is variedc.A longer moment arm existsd.There is consistent force applied
Solution
Torque is greater when "c. A longer moment arm exists".
Here's why:
Torque (also known as moment or moment of force) is the rotational equivalent of linear force. The equation for torque is:
Torque = Force x Distance
In this equation, "Force" is the force applied, and "Distance" is the moment arm (the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where force is applied).
So, if the moment arm (Distance) is longer, the torque will be greater, assuming the same amount of force is applied. This is because torque is directly proportional to the moment arm: the longer the moment arm, the greater the torque, and vice versa.
