    MA = 0.5

    Explanation:

    MA = (Useful Force) / (Input Force)

    MA = (18 - 9) N / 18 N = 9 / 18

    Hence, MA = 0.5

    Answer: MA = 0.5

    MA = 0.5

    Explanation:

    The mechanical advantage is defined as:

    MA = Resistance_force / Effort_force

    Resistance_force = 9 N

    Effort_force = 18 N

    We substitute,

    MA = 9N / 18 N

    MA = 0.5
