Answer:
Decreased
Explanation:
When the force applied to a body is multiplied by the distance to the center of a rotating body we obtain torque
[tex]\tau=F\times r[/tex]
[tex]\tau=|F|\times |r| sin\theta[/tex]
where,
F = Force
r = Distance to the center
[tex]\theta[/tex] = Angle by which you are applying force when pushing toward the center it becomes 0
Here, when you are pushing towards the center the angle becomes zero which makes the torque zero
