Answer:

Option B , equal to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of out force to the input force.

Here,

Input force (IF)
= 100 newtons

Output force (OF)
= 100 newtons

The mathematical relationship for mechanical advantage (MA) is as follows


MA = (OF)/(IF)

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get


MA = (100)/(100) \\MA = 1

Thus, mechanical advantage is equal to 1

Option B is correct
