    n 2. Container with clay and water in it: 1.0 3. Weight water from the weight in air subtracted: 0.29 – 1.0 = 0.71 n 4. Displacement method: volume of water displaced by clay divided by 100 = 0.09 n 5. The numbers are close by 0.62 n. The Archimedes principle: The principle is that the upwards force that pulls out is equal to the weight of the fluid‚ this is called displacement. Discussion questions: The definition of buoyancy is that it is the upwards force that pulls an object or substance

    All of the Early River Civilizations have contributed to the modern age in many ways. These all three empires(Indus‚ Egypt and Sumer) are similar in development and their unique ways of life. Moreover‚ they are also on the contrary and distinct in their own manner. The vast similarity of these Civilizations is their development of technology to make tasks easier. The advances in engineering in ancient times. These advances in the history of technology stimulated societies to adopt new ways

    Greek Mathematical Development Michael Morton Baker College Ancient knowledge of the sciences was often wrong and wholly unsatisfactory by modern standards. However not all of the knowledge of the more learned peoples of the past was false. In fact without people like Euclid or Plato we may not have been as advanced in this age as we are. Mathematics is an adventure in ideas. Within the history of mathematics‚ one finds the ideas and lives of some of the most brilliant people in the history

    Archimedes It is perhaps fitting that Archimedes should lead the lineup of great inventors‚ even in an alphabetical fashion. Archimedes was a Greek mathematician‚ physicist‚ engineer‚ astronomer and an inventor‚ producing his best work in the 3rd century BC. His contributions have been invaluable in several fields‚ but there are some inventions which have made him a cult icon. Some of his famous inventions include the Archimedean Screw‚ which was developed in order to remove flooded water from

    and height of a magnet to determine volume. I then used the water displacement method by filling a cylinder with water and then placing the magnet in and recording the difference in the water level to determine volume and density. Lastly‚ I used Archimedes’ method to by recording the mass of a metal bolt then placing it in water and observing the displacement. I then converted this to density of water and repeated with a magnet. Part 3: I used the scale to determine the molecular weight then calculated

    Egyptian successfully calculated the volume of a pyramidal frustum.[1][2] From the school of Greek mathematics‚ Eudoxus (c. 408−355 BC) used the method of exhaustion‚ which prefigures the concept of the limit‚ to calculate areas and volumes while Archimedes (c. 287−212 BC) developed this idea further‚ inventing heuristics which resemble integral calculus.[3] The method of exhaustion was later used in China by Liu Hui in the 3rd century AD in order to find the area of a circle. It was also used by Zu
