hanicalSimple Machines and its Mechanical Advantage What are Simple Machines? What do we mean by Mechanical Advantage? Simple Machines * creates a greater output force than the input force Therefore since work is performed by applying a force over a distance‚ with the use of these machines we can do more work with lesser effort than working with our bare hands. In short‚ they make work easier. Mechanical Advantage * The Ratio between the input force and the output force. * The measure
