Answer:

1000N is needed to be applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

Machines make doing work easier. They allow us use small effort to carry out work on huge amount of load.

The mechanical advantage of a machine;

(M.A) =load/effort

M.A = 0.6

Load =600N

effort =?

0.6 = 600/effort

effort = 600/0.6

effort = 1000N
