The mechanical advantage (MA) of a machine is calculated using the formula:

\[
MA = \frac{F_{output}}{F_{input}}
\]

In this case, the input force (\(F_{input}\)) is 400 N and the output force (\(F_{output}\)) is 800 N. Plugging in the values:

\[
MA = \frac{800 \, \text{N}}{400 \, \text{N}} = 2
\]

Thus, the mechanical advantage of the machine is **2**.
