The mechanical advantage (MA) of a machine can be calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{MA} = \frac{\text{Output Force}}{\text{Input Force}}
\]
In this case, the input force is 200 Newtons and the output force is 800 Newtons. Plugging these values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{MA} = \frac{800 \text{ N}}{200 \text{ N}} = 4
\]
Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the machine is **C. 4**.
\[
\text{MA} = \frac{\text{Output Force}}{\text{Input Force}}
\]
In this case, the input force is 200 Newtons and the output force is 800 Newtons. Plugging these values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{MA} = \frac{800 \text{ N}}{200 \text{ N}} = 4
\]
Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the machine is **C. 4**.
