Dairy farmers in the united states have been paying higher prices each year for essential components of production, such as feed for the cattle, fuel for farm equipment, and electricity for lights and machinery. at the same time, the amount the farmer receives for the milk, while fluctuating at times, is essentially the same as it was five years ago when the components of production were much less expensive. many dairy farmers were just able to make a profit five years ago. the statements above, if true, most strongly support which of the following conclusions? a)unless they have found other ways to cut expenses, some dairy farmers are no longer making a profit. b)consumption of milk, cheese, and other dairy products has dropped over the past five years. c)the price of feed for cattle has risen because of the increased cost of fuel used to power the equipment needed to grow the feed. d)international supplies of milk have increased, causing the price that u. s. dairy farmers are paid for their milk to stay low, despite increased costs of production. e)the price paid by the consumer for milk, cheese, and ice cream has not changed over the past five years.

A) Unless they have found other ways to cut expenses, some dairy farmers are no longer making a profit.

Explanation:

The situation for dairy farmers is as follows:

Then many of them should be working without making any profit at all or directly losing money.

The equation is simple: Revenue - total costs = profit

If revenue stayed the same and total costs increased, then profits decreased.

sound is invisible, but sometimes we can feel it. when a kettle-drum is thumped with a stick that time the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time and then it pumped sound waves into the air. loudspeakers also work in a similar manner.

components of a speaker:

electromagnet

in order to translate an electrical signal into an audible sound, an electromagnet is used in looudspeakers

  suspension

suspension is used to   center the voice coil in the gap of the magnet and it exerts a restoring force to keep it there. suspension is used to limits the maximum mechanical excursion of the diaphragm and voice coil.

voice coil

voice coil is a coil of wire which is attached to the apex of a loudspeaker cone. it provides the motive force to the cone by the reaction of a magnetic field to the current passing through it.

cone

in a   loudspeaker, a   thin, semi-rigid membrane attached to the voice coil, which moves in a magnetic gap due to which it vibrates   and produced sound. it is known as diaphragm and it can also be called a cone, though not all speaker diaphragms are cone-shaped.

surround

surround is also known as front suspension. surround is used to join the cone to the chassis. together with the suspension it controls the cone excursion, and it is also used to   determine how energy which is   travelling through the cone is absorbed, and how the speaker limits when it reaches the ends of its travel.

dustcap

dustcap is used to protect the voice coil from dust and dirt. it is a part of the cone.

how speaker work

the outer part of the cone is fastened to the outer part of the loudspeaker's circular metal rim. the inner part is fixed to   voice coil that sits just in front of a permanent magnet . when loudspeaker is hooked up to a stereo, electrical signals feed through the speaker cables into the coil. it will convert the coil into an electromagnet magnet . when electricity flows back and forth in the cables, the electromagnet either repels or attract the permanent magnet. this moves the coil back and forth, and it pull and push the loudspeaker cone. like a drum skin vibrating back and forth, the moving cone pumps sounds out into the air.in this way loudspeakers works.
