The relationship between work input and work output is defined by the efficiency of a system. Efficiency is a measure of how well a system converts input work into output work and is calculated as the ratio of output work to input work. A higher efficiency indicates a more effective conversion of work input to work output.

Work input and work output are related by the principle of energy conservation, as described by the work-energy theorem. It states that the work input equals the sum of the change in kinetic energy and change in potential energy of an object, which is also equal to the work output. This relationship helps understand how energy is transferred and transformed in various processes.
When calculating efficiency, work input is compared to the work output. Efficiency is the ratio of the work output to the work input, expressed as a percentage. It shows how effectively a system converts input energy into useful output energy.
Mechanical advantage is calculated by dividing the output force by the input force. The correct formula is: mechanical advantage = output force / input force.
Efficiency is a quantity usually expressed as a percentage that measures the ratio of work output to work input. It shows how much of the work input is successfully converted into useful work output.
To calculate mechanical advantage, divide the output force by the input force. The formula is MA = Output Force / Input Force. This gives you an indication of how much a machine amplifies or reduces the input force.
