Explanation:

1. "Torque is when a twisting force is applied to an object" has a mixed construction. A better way is "Torque is a twisting force applied to an object" or "Torque occurs when a twisting force is applied to an object".
2. "In order for torque to be applied to an object needs an axis of rotation" is also a mixed construction. It should be "In order for torque to be applied to an object, the object needs an axis of rotation" or "For torque to be applied to an object, an axis of rotation is needed".

Answer:

The mixed constructions are: "Torque is when a twisting force is applied to an object", "In order for torque to be applied to an object needs an axis of rotation"
