The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load (the resistance overcome by a machine) to the effort (the force applied). For an ideal (without friction) mechanism, it is also equal to: There is no unit for mechanical advantages since the unit for both input and output forces cancel out.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the answer is 60.4, because you multiply 3.20 by 10, to get 32 - 9 = 23, then subtract 23 from 83.4. Hope this helps you, and good luck!!!
