Answer: The force that must be applied is 80N
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are talking about simple machines; a screw is an example of a simple machine. Other examples include lever, nail puller, wheelbarrow, crank, etc.

Simple machines are devices that can be used to multiply or augment a force that we apply – often at the expense of a distance through which we apply the force.
The mechanical advantage for any simple machine is the ratio of output to input force magnitudes. That is,
Mechanical advantage (MA) = Force output / Force input
From the question,
Mechanical advantage (MA) = 12.5
Force output = 1000N
Force that must be applied, that is, force input = ??
Therefore,
12.5 = 1000N/ Force input
Force input = 1000N/12.5
Force input = 80N
Hence, the force that must be applied is 80N
