Can Torque Be Applied to an Object Through Linear Forces Alone?

[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 5237923, member: 334404"] Are you asking as a practical matter how it is possible to apply a moment as opposed to a force? There does not need to be a way to do that. Consider turning a nut using a spanner. One can think of it as applying a torque, or as applying two equal and opposite forces along parallel but different lines of action. If you are told a moment of some specified magnitude and direction is applied, you do not need to care about how it is applied. [/QUOTE]
