  2. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    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.

[24] While in the past these rates were set at 25% and 10% respectively, as of 2021 the rates are different for different kinds of recipient [ 25 ] but may still be regarded as in some ways arbitrary.

  5. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebate_(marketing)

    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.
