A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force. Ignoring friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by the applied force. The machine can increase the amount of the output force, at the cost of a proportional decrease in the distance moved by the load.

Trade discounts are given to try to increase the volume of sales being made by the supplier. The discount described as trade rate discount is sometimes called "trade discount". Trade discount is the discount allowed on retail price of a product or something. for e.g. Retail price of a cream is 25 and trade discount is 2% on 25.
The ancient Greek understanding of physics was limited to the statics of simple machines (the balance of forces), and did not include dynamics or the concept of work. During the Renaissance the dynamics of the Mechanical Powers, as the simple machines were called, began to be studied from the standpoint of how far they could lift a load, in addition to the force they could apply, leading ...
Reiki is a pseudoscience, [327] and is used as an illustrative example of pseudoscience in scholarly texts and academic journal articles. It is based on qi ("chi"), which practitioners say is a universal life force, although there is no empirical evidence that such a life force exists.
For example, even though a product's price is discounted, the quality of that product may dissuade the consumer from buying the item. [5] If the product has poor customer reviews or has a short "life span," shoppers will view that purchase as a loss and avoid taking a chance on it.
An instant rebate, or sometimes instant savings, is a marketing strategy or gimmick in which a product is either advertised at a specific price, or at a discounted price, where the discount is applied at the time of purchase. For example, the store may advertise a widget for $9.99, but with a $5 instant rebate, the price is $4.99. Or the ...
The discount rates typically applied to different types of companies show significant differences: Start-ups seeking money: 50–100%; Early start-ups: 40–60%; Late start-ups: 30–50%; Mature companies: 10–25%; The higher discount rate for start-ups reflects the various disadvantages they face, compared to established companies:
