Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86

Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10 = 240N to the force exerted (Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.

So, we have

MA = load/effort

= 240N/129N

= 1.86.
