Answer:

  • Mechanical advantages allows humans to perform tasks much easier in terms of the force they need to apply, but must always obey the conservation of energy.

  • Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, used to analyze the forces in simple machines like levers and pulleys.

  • A good example is pushing a heavy object up a ramp. It may be easier to push the object up a ramp instead of just lifting it up to the right height, but it takes a longer distance.

Hope it helps you!!
