A radial force only affects a physic object when the center of mass of that physics object is inside the radius instead of the collision of the physics object being inside the radius. This is at least for Force the case. It obviously results in awkward physics when everything small gets affected but that long stick or something else that is clearly inside with its collision gets not.
