Explanation of Solution

Introduction: The effectiveness of machine at increasing force is described by its mechanical advantage. Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force to input force of a machine.

The ratio of the output force to input force of a machine is called its mechanical advantage.

The input force is the force that a person or device applies to the machine. The output force is the force applied by the machine on another object.

The mechanical advantage of a machine being greater than one means that the output force of the machine is greater than the input force.

Conclusion: The output force is greater than the input force for a machine that has mechanical advantage greater than one.
