hi mate

here's your answer

Mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of resistance overcomes to the effort applied. The simple machine requires force to do work. The resistive force to be overcome is called load and the force applied to overcome the load is called effort.

Velocity Ratio

Velocity ratio of simple machine is the ratio of distance travelled by the effort to the distance travelled by theload in the machine. As velocity ratio or ideal mechanical advantage is a simple ratio of two distances, it also does not have the unit. The friction is not involved in it.

Efficiency

If a machine overcomes a load ‘L’ and the distance travelled by the load is ‘Ld’, the work done by the load is L × Ld. It is also called output work or useful work.

The efficiency of a simple machine is defined as the ratio of useful work done by a machine (output work) to the total work put into the machine (input work).

For ideal or perfect machine, work output is equal to the work input. Ideal machines are those imaginary machines which are frictionless. In practice, the work output of a machine is always less than work input due to the effect of friction. If the frictional force in the machine increases the efficiency decreases because machines are frictionless in practice, the efficiency of a machine can never be 100%
