Answer 1

The mass of an object does not directly affect the torque created by a force; instead, torque depends on the force's magnitude, the distance to the axis of rotation, and the angle of force application.

The factor that does not affect the torque of a force on an object is the mass of the object. Torque is actually determined by three factors:

1. The magnitude of the force applied.
2. The distance from the point where the force is applied to the axis of rotation (often represented as the lever arm r).
3. The angle between the force vector and the lever arm (ideally 90 degrees for maximum torque).

Moment of inertia is the rotational analog of mass, which depends on the mass of the object and its distribution relative to the axis of rotation.

However, the mass itself does not directly influence the torque produced by a force if the above factors are held constant.
