If you exert an input force over a greater distance than the distance exerted by the output force for an ideal machine compare the size of the input and output forces.?

In an ideal machine, if you exert an input force over a greater distance than the output force, the input force will be smaller than the output force. This is because work input is equal to work output in an ideal machine, and work is calculated as force times distance. Therefore, if the input force acts over a greater distance, the output force must be larger to balance the work done.
