The torque produced by a force depends on (i) The magnitude of the force (ii) The direction of the force (iii) The point of application of the force relative to origin A. Only (i) B. Both (i) and (ii) C. Both (i) and (iii) D. All (i), (ii) and (iii)

Only (i)
Both (i) and (ii)
Both (i) and (iii)
All (i), (ii) and (iii)

The correct answer is D. All (i), (ii) and (iii).

The torque produced by a force is defined as the product of the force and the lever arm. The lever arm is the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the force and the axis of rotation. The torque produced by a force is zero if the force is applied along the axis of rotation.

The magnitude of the force and the direction of the force both affect the torque produced. The greater the magnitude of the force, the greater the torque. The greater the angle between the force and the lever arm, the greater the torque.

The point of application of the force also affects the torque produced. The further away from the axis of rotation the force is applied, the greater the torque.

For example, if you try to open a door by pushing on it near the hinge, it will be difficult to open. However, if you push on it near the doorknob, it will be much easier to open. This is because the lever arm is longer when you push on the door near the doorknob.

In conclusion, the torque produced by a force depends on the magnitude of the force, the direction of the force, and the point of application of the force.
