A couple days ago, I stopped by the office in a building here on campus, to ask about the possibility of taking the elevator down for a few minutes to effect a minor repair. The young lady at the desk was positively mortified. "You mean those break down??" was her incredulous response.

Yes. Anything mechanical with one or more moving parts will break down.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
