What is the mechanical advantage of a machine that applies a force of 1000 N to an object when a force of 500 N is applied to the machine?

Mechanical advantage is the force the machine applies to the object divided by the force applied to the machine. Here, 1000 N ÷ 500 N = 2, so the machine’s mechanical advantage is 2. This is choice B.
