The mechanical advantage (MA) of a simple machine can be calculated using the following equation:
\[ \text{Mechanical Advantage (MA)} = \frac{\text{Output Force}}{\text{Input Force}} \]
Alternatively, for certain types of simple machines, mechanical advantage can also be calculated using dimensions or distances, such as:
\[ \text{Mechanical Advantage (MA)} = \frac{\text{Distance moved by input}}{\text{Distance moved by output}} \]
Both of these equations provide insight into how the machine amplifies force or changes the distance over which a force acts.
