What happens to the torque when two unbalanced objects equal distant on either side of the fulcrum are moved apart? a. It increases c. It does not change b. It decreases d. It cannot be determined from this information

Torque in this case means moment and moment is defined as the product of net force and distance. So when two unbalanced objects equal distant on either side of the fulcrum are moved apart, torque increases. The answer is a.

torque = force x distance

so when the 2 unbalanced objects are moved apart, distance increases so torque increases.
