The mechanical advantage (MA) of a machine can be calculated using the formula:
\[
MA = \frac{\text{Output Force}}{\text{Input Force}}
\]
In this case, the output force is 800 N and the input force is 400 N.
Plugging in the values:
\[
MA = \frac{800 \, \text{N}}{400 \, \text{N}} = 2
\]
Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the machine is **2**.
\[
MA = \frac{\text{Output Force}}{\text{Input Force}}
\]
In this case, the output force is 800 N and the input force is 400 N.
Plugging in the values:
\[
MA = \frac{800 \, \text{N}}{400 \, \text{N}} = 2
\]
Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the machine is **2**.
