Question
Forces that act on an object a non-zero distance from the object's pivot point,
must result in a torque applied to the object due to the length of the lever arm.
might not result in a torque on the object depending on the direction in which the force is applied.
can only apply torques to an object if the forces act in a direction through the center of mass.
can only apply torques to an object if the forces do not act in a direction through the center of mass.
