Answer:

The mechanical advantage of the machine 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Output force = 20.0 N

Input force = 100 N

We need to calculate the mechanical advantage of the machine

Using formula of mechanical advantage


MA = (F_(out))/(F_(in))*100

Put the value into the formula


MA=(20.0)/(100)*100


MA=(1)/(5)*100


MA=20\%

Hence, The mechanical advantage of the machine 20%.
