And this is the reason why it is harder to apply a force like on the picture to a circle of smaller radius and that is because there will be a component of the centripetal force that is opposite to the applied force F on the picture and that’s why torque gets smaller with r.
Studiot said:Looking at your diagram I think I understand your question.
Unfortunately, taking your posts in this thread and your previous one, you seem to have a basic misunderstanding about circular motion.
There is no way that F has anything to do with motion around the circle you have drawn.
None of this is meant as a personal criticism; I really am trying to help.
You did not bother to answer my previous question. All my questions are designed to help and further understanding.
Have a look at this recent thread, where I like to think the OP went away with a better understanding and achieved something for himself.

Now just answer this simple question.
If you take a string and pull it out taught so it is under tension, what are the forces acting in the string and on the string?
Can you draw a simple diagram?
the forces on the string are the tension force witch acts on the pivot
A constraint force on a circle is a force that acts on an object moving along a circular path, keeping it constrained to that path.
Constraint forces on a circle are caused by the object's motion along a curved path. These forces are necessary to keep the object moving along the circular path and prevent it from deviating from that path.
Constraint forces on a circle can be calculated using the principles of circular motion, including centripetal force, radius, and velocity. These forces can be determined using mathematical equations and vector diagrams.
Centripetal force is a type of constraint force that specifically refers to the force that keeps an object moving along a circular path. Constraint forces on a circle, on the other hand, can refer to any force that constrains an object's motion to a circular path.
Constraint forces on a circle affect an object's motion by providing the necessary force to keep it moving along a circular path. These forces also determine the object's speed and direction of motion along the path.
