Mechanical Advantage
Mechanical advantage is the ratio of output to the input force. It can also be described as the ratio of load to the effort applied. This force amplification obtained by the use of simple machines to raise higher loads with less effort is called Mechanical Advantage.
Simple Machines
Simple machines make work easier. They have few or no moving parts and they work by changing the direction of a force or the amount of force needed to do something.
