Answer:

450 newtons

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of mechanical advantage means how much more force you will get out of a machine than how much you put in. Since this machine has a mechanical advantage of 3 and an input force of 150N, you will have an output of 150*3=450N. Hope this helps!
