Question

torque is directly proportional when figured at right angles
true
false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Torque ($\tau$) is calculated by $\tau = rF\sin\theta$, where $r$ is the distance from the pivot point to the point of application of the force $F$, and $\theta$ is the angle between the position - vector $r$ and the force - vector $F$. When $\theta = 90^{\circ}$ (right - angle), $\sin\theta=1$, and torque is maximized and directly proportional to the force $F$ and the distance $r$.

Answer:

True
