Torque is maximized when the plane is horizontal because the force due to gravity acts perpendicularly to the lever arm, resulting in the greatest rotational effect. As the plane tilts towards a vertical position, the angle between the force of gravity and the lever arm decreases, leading to a reduction in torque. When the plane is completely vertical, the force of gravity acts parallel to the lever arm, causing the torque to drop to zero. Thus, the orientation directly influences the effectiveness of the force in creating rotational motion.
A horizontal angle is an angle between lines on a horizontal plane.
