Answer:

Output force = 300 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The mechanical advantage of a lever, m = 3

Input force,
F_i=100\ N

We need to find the output force. The ratio of output force to the input force is called the mechanical advantage of the lever. So,


m=(F_o)/(F_i)\\\\F_o=m* F_i\\\\F_o=3* 100\\\\F_o=300\ N

So, the output force is 300 N.
