Answer:

There are 3 variables that can affect the size of the torque. First, the size of the force matters. A larger force creates a larger torque. But the angle the torque makes with the radius also matters. Only perpendicular forces or the perpendicular component of a force can create a torque. So, the angle between the force and radius also affects the torque. Lastly, the distance the torque acts from the pivot point, or radius, also affect the magnitude of the torque on an object.
