Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8
Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.
In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton
This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8
Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.
Hope this helps :)
