Definitely negative
Correct.

So I posted the question, then realized I would need the answers too, and then realized it was negative.

So, assume this is an ideal simple machine.

What type of machine is this? What is the IMA? Find x. Find the torque generated.

Uh probs a wheel and axle, can't really tell cuz MS Paint is pt cringe. Assuming that x is input, the IMA is 2.5. x = 32 N, and the torque generated (assuming only by x) is 320 Nm.

Yes, it is a wheel and axle. The IMA is equal to 10m/8cm, which is 250. Therefore, the IMA is 250. x = 0 N (the arrows are facing perpendicular directions) and therefore, the torque is 0 Nm.
Your turn!
