    called because one thinks of the areas measured expanding so that they account for more and more of the required area. Archimedes made one of the greatest contributions of the Greek. One advancement he made was to show that the area of a segment of a parabola is 4/3 the area of a triangle with the same base and vertex and 2/3 of the area of the circumscribed parallelogram. Archimedes also “invented” the volume and surface area of a sphere‚ the volume and area of a cone‚ the surface area of an ellipse

    exhaustion‚ which made it possible to compute the area and volume of regions and solids by breaking them up into an infinite number of recognizable shapes. Archimedes of Syracuse developed this method further‚ while also inventing heuristic methods which resemble modern day concepts somewhat. (See Archimedes’ Quadrature of the Parabola‚ The Method‚ Archimedes on Spheres & Cylinders.) It should not be thought that infinitesimals were put on a rigorous footing during this time‚ however. Only when it was supplemented

    ship building is much more than taking some metal and building a floating structure. It takes years of understanding and research to build such a vessel. Mankind has been building ships for centuries but it was not until the 17th century that Archimedes‚ a great Greek Mathmatitions‚ ideas were used and studied closely. Today no one would even think of building a ship without using some type of calculations or a computer to draft out a design. The same principles used in the dynamics of ship building

    the velocity of the fluid is high‚ its pressure is low‚ and where the velocity is low the pressure is high. Archimedes’ Principle. -It was discovered by Archimedes‚ an ancient Greek mathematician who died in 212 B.C. According to this principle‚ an object immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force that is equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the displaced fluid. Archimedes was assigned by King Hero to find out if his crown was made of pure gold. For a time‚ he was puzzled. One day

    taught to young kids. Geometry made huge advancements in the Hellenistic age. From Eratosthenes finding within 1% the circumference of the earth‚ to the theorems of planes and solids. Also another mathematical triumph was the calculation of pi by Archimedes. Other science triumphs are the facts of modern medicine starting with Hippocrates. They found out about the circulatory system‚ the nervous system‚ and the centralized point of the brain. All these concepts lead to the basic understanding of what

    as water. • What is Archimedes Principle? – The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water. • What is density? – Density is the mass of a material per unit volume. – Example: The density of steel is 10 times more than the density of wood. Hypothesis I think when the weight of the object is greater than the displaced water‚ it will sink. If the weight of the object is equal to the weight of the displaced water‚ it will float.
