SUMMARY
A net torque in a system implies the presence of a net force acting on that system. Torque, defined as the rotational force, is directly related to the applied force and the distance from the axis of rotation. For a net torque to exist, there must be an unbalanced force causing the object to rotate. Therefore, it is established that a net torque cannot exist without a corresponding net force acting on the system.
