To calculate the mechanical advantage (MA) that a simple machine provides, you should **divide the output force by the input force**.
The formula is:
\[ \text{Mechanical Advantage (MA)} = \frac{\text{Output Force}}{\text{Input Force}} \]
This gives you a measure of how much the simple machine amplifies the input force. In summary, the correct option for calculating the mechanical advantage is:
**divide the output force by the input force.**
