Practice question

The magnitude of torque (τ = rFsin⁡θ) depends on the force magnitude F and the perpendicular distance rsin⁡θ from the pivot to the line of action of the force. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Force and perpendicular distance from the pivot. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
