Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because torque can indeed be multiplied by using leverage, which is a fundamental principle in mechanics. Technician A is incorrect because torque does not always involve movement; it is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis, and it can exist even if there is no actual rotation happening.
