Mechanical Advantage Calculator

Formula and Units

Mechanical advantage compares output load force to input effort force.

Formula: mechanical advantage = load force / effort force. Both forces convert to newtons first.

Understanding Mechanical Advantage

1. What This Calculator Measures

Mechanical advantage compares how much a machine multiplies input effort.

2. How the Calculation Works

Both load and effort are converted to newtons. A value greater than 1 means the machine multiplies force.

3. Formula or Rule Used

mechanical advantage = load force / effort force.
