    Torque is defined as the product of force applied and the perpendicular distance.

    Torque = force x distance

    It is a vector quantity and its SI unit is Nm.

    According to the question, the torque is same in both the cases. So, the distance of knob 2 is less than the distance of knob 1, so we have to apply more force on knob 2 to open the door.
