A very practical example of mechanical advantage is the use of a "cheater bar." If you find a bolt that is hard to break, simply slip a long pipe or similar object over the handle and it will apply much more torque.
reducing friction along screw threads is an example of mechanical efficiency. if theres no friction mechanical efficiency would be at 100%

A longer lever helps lift more weight.

Efficiency of a machine or mechanical advantage
Sounds like you are asking about "mechanical advantage"...
Without friction, some forms of mechanical advantage do not function. In most cases for a mechanical apparatus, a reduction in friction is usually accompanied by an increase in efficiency.
mechanical advantage
mechanical efficiency is the percent of the energy that you put into a machine that was transferred to the load.
Mechanical efficiency = (output energy)/(input energy) . It's typically stated as a percentage.
The mechanical efficiency of this machine is 30 percent.

Efficiency % = (Output/Input) x 100
Mechanical efficiency:force x distance (output)/ force x distance (input) x 100%ex. 700n x 2 m / 800n x 2m x 100%1400nm/1600nm x 100%0.875 x 100%= 875Mechanical efficiency= 875%The preceding example is incorrectMechanical efficiency is: % efficiency=output power/input power x 100
