Students have asked these similar questions
Two equal forces are applied to a door at the doorknob. The first force is applied perpendicular to the door; the second force is applied at 30° to the plane of the door. Which force exerts the greater torque?
Explain, why doorknobs are usually placed on the opposite side of the door from the hinges, rather than squarely in the middle of the door
When the force is applied to the pivot point, the torque is
O constant
O minimum
O maximum
O zero
O unknown
