What is effort (input) force?

• the force one exerts on a machine

• the force which an effort force must overcome in order to do work on an object via a simple machine.

• the force the machine exerts on a object

• the output work times the input distance

The amount by which a machine multiplies input force is known as the 

• work.
• power.
• output force.
• mechanical advantage.

Mechanical advantage is a measure of how much a machine multiplies the input

• efficiency.
• force.
• power.
• work.
