Torque depend on randF.

Explanation:

Torque equals the vector cross product
Torque=r×F
=rFsinθ

r = distance of point from axis about which we want to calculate
the torque.
F = force
θ = the angle between randF
Torque only depend on these three things. However, we usually have cases where θ=90, so θ is often ignored.
