False.
The mechanical advantage of a machine can be greater than, equal to, or less than 1, depending on the type of machine and its specific characteristics. Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force to the input force in a machine. If it's greater than 1, it indicates that the machine amplifies force, while a value less than 1 implies a force reduction.
