Mechanical Advantage is the factor at which the initial force put into it is multiplied. For example, if you have a lever arm where you have to put 10 lbs on one end to life 20lbs on the other, the mechanical advantage it 2.

It means that with a given input of force, a magnified output of force is achieved; for example, some pulleys have a 2-1 mechanical advantage: if you pull on one end with 50 pounds of force, 100 pounds of force is exerted on the other end.

This is referring to the ability of a machine to "amplify" the amount of force suppied to it. A lever, for example, will amplify the force you supply.
