help me write a 50 word response to my class mate 1. Can a small force ever exert a greater torque than a larger force? Explain Yes, torque depends on both the magnitude of the force and distance from the axis of rotation. Considering these things, a small force being applied to an object that is further from the pivot can create a greater torque than a large force applied to an object close to the pivot. 2. If the net force on a system is zero, is the net torque also zero? If the net torque on a system is zero, is the net force zero? Explain and give examples. Unfortunately, the answer to these questions are not straightforward. So, I am going with not necessarily! An object can have a net force of zero, but a non-zero net torque, and vice versa. If the net force on a system is zero, the net torque is not necessarily zero. This is because net force determines linear motion, while net torque determines how it rotates (angular acceleration). With this, you can have forces applied to an object that cancel each other out linearly, but whose specific points of application have a turning effect. And again, if the net torque on a system is zero, the net force is not necessarily zero because in a given system there can be a net torque of zero even if there is a net force. What matters here is where the force is applied! If it is applied along the line that passes through the axis of rotation, it will cause linear acceleration without creating torque
