If the resistance force is 40 Newtons and the effort force is 20 Newtons, what is the mechanical advantage?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The actual mechanical advantage is calculated by:\[\Large AMA = \frac{R}{E}\]

yeah so just use the formula: 40/20 = 2 (note the units cancel so this is a scalar quantity).
