What does a mechanical advantage of less than one mean? What is gained?

distance from the applied force to the pivot point is greater than the

distance from the load point to the pivot point.

Efficiency will be increased

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage (MA) would be the ratio of of the distance from the applied force to the pivot point divided by the distance from the load point to the pivot point.

the advantage gained by the use of a mechanism in transmitting force specifically : the ratio of the force that performs the useful work of a machine to the force that is applied to the machine.

If the mechanical advantage is less than 1, then we will have to apply more force to get the same amount of force output.

explanation:

there is no change in the electric potential energy as it is in rest on both conditions.
