Torque and the Angle of Applied Force
How does the magnitude of the torque on a rigid body depend on the angle between the applied force vector and the position vector from the axis of rotation?
A
The magnitude of torque is maximum when the angle is 90° and decreases as the angle approaches 0° or 180°
B
The magnitude of torque is constant regardless of the angle between the applied force and the position vector
C
The magnitude of torque increases linearly as the angle between the applied force and the position vector increases from 0° to 180°
D
The magnitude of torque is minimum when the angle is 90° and increases as the angle approaches 0° or 180°
