What does mechanical advantage describe regarding simple machines?

Answer:
They multiply the input force.
Explanation:
Mechanical Advantage is the multiplication of the input force to give an increased output by a <em>simple machine </em>due to the difference in the length of load arm and the effort arm.
It is based upon the law of conservation of moments as to force applied at the farther point from a hinge or a pivot needs to be balanced by a greater force counteracting at a shorter distance from the pivot.
<u>Lever is a simple machine which consists of a bar pivoted or supported at a point (called fulcrum) about which it can rotate.</u>
..............................................(1)
where:
force applied on the end of effort arm
force due to load on the end of load arm
L = length of load arm
E = length of effort arm
Equation (1) is known as the law of levers, it was proven by <em>Archimedes </em>using geometric reasoning.

Answer:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force is 120.85 N
Explanation:
We can use Coulomb's law to find the electrostatic force between the down quarks.
In scalar form, Coulomb's law states that for charges and
separated by a distance d, the magnitude of the electrostatic force F between them is:
where is Coulomb's constant.
Taking the values:
and knowing the value of the Coulomb's constant:
Taking all this in consideration:
