then we will calculate the ratio—the density. In the first part of the experiment‚ we should measure the density of some irregularly shaped chunks of rock. The Weight of rocks is 18.769g. To calculate the volume of rocks‚ We make use of Archimedes Principle: that is‚ an insoluble solid will DISPLACE a volume of water equal to its own volume. The volume before adding rocks and after adding rocks are 50 ml and 58 ml. Hence the volume of rocks is 58 cm3 minus 50 cm3 which is 8 cm3. The density

While Galileo’s application of mathematics to experimental physics was innovative‚ his mathematical methods were the standard ones of the day‚ including dozens of examples of an inverse proportion square root method passed down from Fibonacci and Archimedes. The analysis and proofs relied heavily on the Eudoxian theory of proportion‚ as set forth in the fifth book of Euclid’s Elements. This theory had become available only a century before‚ thanks to accurate translations

HISTORY OF ZERO This essay summarises the development of zero‚ as both digit and number‚ from early to modern civilisations. More willing to accept the concept of void‚ the Eastern civilisations are credited with the invention of zero. The Western civilisations‚ on the other hand‚ struggled for almost two millennia to finally accept zero. The history of zero from merely a placeholder in place value systems (digit) to finally becoming accepted as a number has a very long history in Western
