Apulley has a mechanical advantage of 1.
what does this tell you about the size and
direction of the input and output forces?

There is no mechanical advantage

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage is possible only when the force needed to lift a load is lesser than the weight of the load.

For example, is we have a mechanical advantage of 2, the force needed to lift will be 1/2 of the weight of the load, and if we have a mechanical advantage of 4, the force needed will be 1/4 of the weight of the load.

In the attached image there are clear examples of mechanical advantage with pulleys.

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.
