A young girl and her father take turns pushing open a big swinging gate. To do so, each person applies a torque to the gate around its hinges. She has studied some physics and is a careful thinker; is it possible for her to apply a larger torque than her father does?

    Yes, by exerting her force further from the gate hinges than her father does.

    Explanation:

    Torque is a concept that was originated by Archimedes when they were using levers. It is a turning effect or a linear equivalent rotational force used in physics. It is a pseudo vector. The term Torque was given by James Thomson in 1884. It is a different pronunciation or word vocabulary in different geographical regions. This term is used in physics and its uses in physics.

    It is

    t = r * F

    Where r is position vector and F is force acting and T is torque
