force output x distance = work output ~same for input
In a closed system in the "real world" in which we live, there are losses associated with friction and other actions. These forces "take energy" from the system between its input and output. When we apply force to the imput of a system, some is lost as the force is transferred through that system. That means that the output force we observe will always be a bit less than the input force. A transmission in a vehicle is a classic example of the idea that there are losses between the input and the output of a system. The input from the engine will always be a bit greater than the output at the tailshaft (or axles for a transaxle) due to losses within the transmission.
let the input force be F1,and the distance between point of application of input force and the lever point is x1,similarly if output force iis F2,and distance of it's point of apllication is x2,then efficiency of the lever is (F2*x2)/(F1*x1) actually F*x gives the work done,and efficiency of any machine is output work/input work
A mechanism with a positive mechanical advantage is one in which the input force is greater than the output force. This is compensated for by the fact that the distance moved by the input is greater than the output so that in an ideal machine, the work input (Force*Distance) is the same as the work output. In real life, though, you always lose some energy - in the form of frictional heat, or sound.A negative mechanical advantage is the opposite. A small distance moved by the input is converted to a large distance moved by the output. But the force in the output is correspondingly reduced.A mechanism with a positive mechanical advantage is one in which the input force is greater than the output force.

input force x input distance > output force x output distance -Novanet
output force divide by the input force is the mechanical advantage of a simple machine.The output force is the force that is exerted by the machine on an object, and the input force is the force that we exert on a machine.
force output x distance = work output ~same for input
Work Input- The work done on a machine as the input force acts through the input distance. Work Output - The work done by a machine as the output force acts through the output distance (What the machine does to the object (dependent on the force) to increase the output distance).

Mechanical efficiency
let the input force be F1,and the distance between point of application of input force and the lever point is x1,similarly if output force iis F2,and distance of it's point of apllication is x2,then efficiency of the lever is (F2*x2)/(F1*x1) actually F*x gives the work done,and efficiency of any machine is output work/input work
it makes work easier by changing an input force into a larger output force.
because if there wasn't an input force, or any one of those, the machine would not work properly

You can push or pull in the same direction
input force x input distance > output force x output distance -Novanet
Mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force. In other words, F out/F in. Output force is the work done by the machine while input force is what the host (you) did to the machine. Work is always displayed with the label of joules.
