They didn't rely on wind or oars to move them.
Mechanical advantage is determined by physical measurement of the input and output forces and takes into account energy loss due to deflection, friction, and wear. The ideal mechanical advantage, meanwhile, is the mechanical advantage of a device with the assumption that its components do not flex, there is no friction, and there is no wear.
In a mechanical advantage system, the force is multiplied by the factor of the mechanical advantage. The formula for mechanical advantage is MA = output force / input force. This means the force can be multiplied by the mechanical advantage value.
Time can be used to measure mechanical advantage by comparing the time taken to perform a task with and without a mechanical advantage device. If a mechanical advantage device reduces the time required to complete a task, it indicates that the device has increased the efficiency of the task, thereby providing mechanical advantage.
The amount by which a machine multiplies an input force is called mechanical advantage. It is calculated by dividing the output force by the input force.

Steamships
Steamships primarily use coal as their fuel, particularly in the early 20th century. However, many modern steamships utilize oil, such as heavy fuel oil or diesel, to generate steam for propulsion. The choice of fuel depends on the ship's design, operational requirements, and availability. Some steamships may also use alternative fuels, like biomass or natural gas, as technology evolves.
