    We know that the mechanical advantage of the hammer is is given by the ratio between the force applied on the hammer and the force required to overcome the given force. Force applied = 40 NForce required = 160 NMechanical advantage = Mechanical advantage =

    Hence, the mechanical advantage of the hammer is 4.
