Explanation:

Step1: Recall Mechanical Advantage Definition

Mechanical Advantage (MA) is the ratio of resistance force ($F_R$) to effort force ($F_E$), or $MA=\frac{F_R}{F_E}$. If $MA = 5$ and $F_E=1$ pound, then $F_R=MA\times F_E$.

Step2: Calculate Resistance Force

Substitute $MA = 5$ and $F_E = 1$ into the formula: $F_R=5\times1 = 5$ pounds. So for 1 pound of force, we can move 5 pounds of resistance.

Answer:

5
