water against a silver crown of the same dimensions. In the end, the differences between the weights of the crowns were enough to prove the kings crown wasn’t solid gold. Archimedes knew that the crown wasn’t solid gold due to his law of buoyancy, which helped him to figure it out. The third thing that has impacted society today was also by Archimedes, and it was the Archimedes screw. The Archimedes screw was a device that was used to pump water out of ships and to get water into irrigation ditches to help farmers.
The Archimedes screw worked by putting a screw inside of a tight tube, the screw was then turned once in the water. Each little part that jutted out collected water in it, and at the top, it poured the water out. The last but not least thing on this collection of facts is about Archimedes own law of displacement. The law of displacement stated that when any body, partially or fully submerged in a fluid(both liquid and gas) was at rest, is acted upon an upward buoyant force that keeps is equal to the amount of fluid displaced, by the body. In other words, if a body of something displaces enough fluid, say water, one will float, because to weight is equal to the amount of water that is being pushed away and displaced. Most all of the things that are here have contributed to today's society, the Archimedes screw helped inspire to propeller, Archimedes law of displacement explained how to make things float, Archimedes law of buoyancy(displacement) helped us figure out how to calculate density today, and the Pythagorean theorem still helps people calculate the lengths of right
triangles. So in the grand scheme of things, all of these things have contributed to modern society, so yes, greek society has contributed a lot to modern society.
