For example: think of the inclined plane- The advantage of gaining force is offset by the disadvantage of losing distance.

So, that means... The longer the inclined plane is, the less steep it has to be and the less force a load needs to have exerted on it to move. :)

Hope that answers your question. :)

Mechanical advantage is defined as the number of times that a machine increases an applied force for a given machine which would always decrease the mechanical advantage of that particular machine?

To find the mechanical advantage of a simple machine divide output force by input force. (input force is the force that we exert on a machine, and output force is the force that is exerted by a machine).

A measure of the amount a machine multiplies a force is its advantage?

The advantage of a machine is the ratio of the output force to the input force. It determines how much a machine amplifies or magnifies the input force applied to it. Machines with a higher advantage are more efficient at multiplying force.

What is the number of times a machine increased a force exerted on it?

The number of times a machine can increase a force exerted on it depends on the machine's mechanical advantage. Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force produced by a machine to the input force applied to it. This ratio determines how many times the machine can increase the force.
