MA=ΔxiΔxo
M A equals Start Fraction capital delta x subscript I over capital delta x subscript o End Fraction

MA=ΔxoΔxi
M A equals Start Fraction capital delta x subscript o over capital delta x subscript i End Fraction

MA=Δxi×Δxo
M A equals capital delta x subscript I times capital delta x subscript o

MA=Δxi−Δxo

Answer 1

The correct equation to calculate the mechanical advantage (MA) of a simple machine is:

MA = Δxo / Δxi

So, the response you are looking for is:

MA = Δxo / Δxi (M A equals Start Fraction capital delta x subscript o over capital delta x subscript i End Fraction).

This represents the ratio of the output distance (Δxo) to the input distance (Δxi).
