No, the mechanical advantage is greater than 1. If you input a force of 1 unit you get out a force of 1+ units.

However keep in mind that if this were a PERFECT machine the amount of WORK INPUT is EQUAL to the the amount of WORK OUTPUT. Since perfection is not possible, and there are frictional losses this is not possible. Otherwise you could have a perpetual motion machine, which is not yet possible.

What is the ratio of output force to input force of a machine?

That's the machine's "mechanical advantage".


If the output force is less than the input force of a simple machine the mechanical advantage less than one?

it means the mechanical advantage is greater.


If the output is greater than the input force of a simple machine the mechanical advantage is less than one?

Yes, that's correct. Mechanical advantage is calculated by dividing the output force by the input force. If the output force is greater than the input force, the mechanical advantage will be less than one, indicating that the machine trades off force for distance.


What does the output force divided by the input force equal?

Efficiency of a machine or mechanical advantage


What is the ratio of a machine's output force to the effort applied?

The ratio of a machine's output force to the effort applied is called mechanical advantage. It is calculated by dividing the output force by the input (applied) force. Mechanical advantage quantifies how much the machine can multiply the input force to achieve a greater output force.


True or False Finding the ratio of input force to output force gives you the mechanical advantage of a machine?

True. The mechanical advantage of a machine is determined by the ratio of output force to input force. A mechanical advantage greater than 1 indicates that the machine amplifies force, making it easier to do work.


Which factor must increase to give a machine a mechanical advantage greater than 1?

output force (:

When is the mechanical advantage greater than one?

The IMA of a machine is greater than 1 whenever the output force is greater than the input force.


How many times a force is multiplied by a machine is the mechanical what?

The number of times a force is multiplied by a machine is known as mechanical advantage. It is calculated by dividing the output force of the machine by the input force applied to it. A mechanical advantage greater than 1 indicates that the machine multiplies the input force.
