Answer to Question 1

Since machines are generally used to increase the force that can be applied to a load,
the actual mechanical advantage is usually the most useful. The theoretical
mechanical advantage is sometimes useful, however, when the machine in question is
judged by how far the load is moved during its operation.

Answer to Question 2
