Q:if the company introduces new machinery and reduces its direct labour, how is the break even point affected?

It will be affected relative to the cost difference between the machine and labor . If the cost of the machine is more than labour in the short term it will be higher if not then lower . You should be able to calculate a realistic break even point for when the machine is paid off , obviously you need to take into account running costs and maintenance and whether or not they will exceed your existing labour costs . Cheers

Q:A certain piece of machinery depreciates from 9600 to 8160 in one year. What percent decrease is it?

You have a machine that depreciates from $9600 to $8160 in one year, this can be represented by: Original price - original price*percentage decrease = depreciated amount which is: 9600 - 9600x = 8160 Subtract 9600 from both sides: -9600x = -1440 Divive by -9600: x = 1440/9600 = 0.15 Convert to percentage: 0.15*100 = 15% The machine depreciates by 15% in one year.

Q:Machinery used in solid waste disposal can be subject to the regulation of the Noise Control Act. true or false

It IS, not can be. subject to the same law as anything else.

Q:Hi,My company produces industrial machinery, which for the purposes of this can best be described as a range of different size metal boxes with internal fittings. Currently, we make these from aluminium extrusion and steel infill panels. I'm looking to redesign.Does anyone have suggestions for alternative component systems which provide reasonably strong structures, while being assembled without welding and do not require painting? I've looked at aluminium composite panels and GRP.ThanksS

Have you considered manufacturing the enclosures from galvanized sheet metal, which can be fabricated into weather resistant enclosures using a metal brake and pop rivets?

Q:I'm talking about both commercial farms and subsistence farms. When I say mechanization, I'm referring to tractors, harvesters, threshers etc

I find tractors a big help to carry heavy loads plough the fields cut the hay and carry big bales of hay/straw..so thats an advantage farm machinery make farming a bit easier and you are able to do work quicker (i.e harvesting) and with out the need of to many labourers and less physical strain... disadvantage: they can be dangerous if not used/handled properly they can be expensive to buy compare to employing workers need fuel and maintenence which can be expensive they are not environmentally friendly

Q:Where can I post pictures of an antique farm gear box and get replies as to :What is it? It was recently found under an old building. Everything seems to work freely.Ron

can you identify the manufacturer? McCormick, McCormick Farm-all was one of the earliest manufacturers of farm machinery, you may find flecks or red paint. there should be identifying marks, google the manufacturer, who ever it is. It should work freely; if it is as old as i am thinking it was made of cast iron.

Q:Viruses use the host cell machinery to replicate. However, some viruses replicate their genomes by a mechanism that host cell cannot support. How can these types of viruses infect and replicate in their host, when the host cell cannot perform a particular role that the virus requires?a) The viral genome encodes the specialized enzymes that the host does not have.b) The virus causes mutations in the human cells, resulting in the formation of new enzymes that are capable of performing these roles.c) The virus infects only those cells and species that can perform all the necessary replication roles.d) Viruses can stay in a quiescent state until the host cell evolves this ability. e) All of the above have been frequently observed.

a) The viral genome encodes the specialized enzymes that the host does not have.

Q:but I'm here in the country?

It means you hear machinery

Q:that question is related to basic fluid machinery... the reaction turbines, when running are full of water that is the water is all around the vanes but in the analysis we use to draw a single line representing the inlet velocity why?????

resultant force acts on the line
