Problem

A door is pushed by a constant force of magnitude FF at a point located a horizontal distance rr from its hinge. The force makes an angle θ\theta with the plane of the door. Which of the following single changes would double the magnitude of the torque on the door while all other variables remain unchanged? a) Doubling the magnitude of the force FF while halving the distance rr b) Doubling the distance rr at which the force is applied c) Increasing the angle θ\theta from 30∘30^{\circ} to 60∘60^{\circ} while keeping FF and rr unchanged d) Increasing the distance rr by 50%50\%
