meaning that small force applied over a long length can produce huge torque! You can move a huge rock if you use a long enough metal stick for leverage. This is why Archimedes said,
Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.
Large angular acceleration due to large torque is then directly result of Euler's equations.
