What force does not cause any torque?

• Force perpendicular to the fulcrum, and not on the fulcrum
• Force parallel to the fulcrum, and not on the fulcrum
• Force perpendicular to the fulcrum, and slightly off center of the fulcrum
• Forces at a 45 degree angle to the fulcrum, and not on the fulcrum

Does a bridge anchored resting on two pillars have any torque?

• No, it isn't moving
• Yes, but it is at equilibrium
• Yes, but it will soon break because of the torque
• No, Bridges can't have torque
