Answer 1

. The mechanical advantage is calculated by dividing the output force by the input force. In this case, the input force is 25.0 N and the output force is 125 N. So, the mechanical advantage would be 125 N divided by 25.0 N, which equals 5.00. So, the answer would be B. 5.00. Hope that helps!
