Introduction: The upward force on an object that is in water that allows it to float is called buoyancy.

They didn’t have to rely only on hunting and gathering to get food because they knew how to farm and could save up food for the winter. Since they had so much extra time now (the time they used to spend hunting animals and gathering plants)‚ this allowed them to begin creating objects and ideas to help them live a little easier.

A windmill is a machine that converts the energy of wind into rotational energy by means of vanes called sails.[1][2] Originally‚ windmills were developed for milling grain for food production.
