A force that a machine exerts is typically referred to as mechanical force. This force is generated by the machine to perform work, such as lifting or moving objects. It is essential for the machine to operate efficiently and effectively.

When a force is applied to a simple machine, it is called input force. This force is used to overcome resistance or mechanical advantage within the machine to perform work. The input force is typically different from the output force, which is the force the machine exerts to accomplish a task.
The mechanical advantage is 5. This means that for every 1 N of force you exert, the machine will output 5 N of force.
The force that an 800N man exerts on the Earth is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force that the Earth exerts on the man, by Newton's third law. So, the force the man exerts on the Earth is 800N.
A machine exerts force or power to perform a specific task or function, such as moving objects, lifting weights, or generating electricity. The type and amount of exertion depend on the design and purpose of the machine.
The hand exerts a force on the pen to write on paper, while the pen exerts an equal but opposite force back on the hand. The book exerts a force on the table due to gravity, while the table exerts an equal but opposite force upwards on the book. The foot exerts a force on the ground to stay balanced while sitting on a chair, and the ground exerts an equal but opposite force upwards on the foot.
