Question

Which of the following best describes an example of torque?

torque happens when force is applied with a lever in a rotational direction, like twisting a door knob or using a wrench
torque is a non contact force and takes place only through electromagnetism
torque only happens when applied in a vertical direction, like jumping or throwing something up in the air
torque is a force that resists motion, it occurs when two objects make contact

Answer 1

Direction of force: these applied forces result in no torque on the wrench because the applied force is parallel to the lever arm.

Answer 2

torque happens when force is applied with a lever in a rotational direction, like twisting a door knob or using a wrench.
