Archimedes was one of the greatest philosophers who lived from 287 BC to 211 BC in Syracuse. Archimedes was a physicist‚ astronomer‚ engineer and mathematician who discovered and invented machines such as the Archimedean screw‚ Archimedes principle‚ Archimedean spiral‚ Archimedes claw‚ planetarium‚ compound pulley system and many war machines. His greatest contributions were in geometry and his methods and ideas started the idea of calculus and finding the density of an object without damaging the

Apollonius of Perga Apollonius was a great mathematician‚ known by his contempories as " The Great Geometer‚ " whose treatise Conics is one of the greatest scientific works from the ancient world. Most of his other treatise were lost‚ although their titles and a general indication of their contents were passed on by later writers‚ especially Pappus of Alexandria. As a youth Apollonius studied in Alexandria ( under the pupils of Euclid‚ according to Pappus ) and subsequently taught at the university

Title: Archimedes principle Objective: To use Archimedes Principle to determine the density of an object more dense than water. Introduction: Archimedes ’ principle is a law of physics stating that the upward force (buoyancy) exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the amount of fluid the body displaces. In other words‚ an immersed object is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it actually displaces. Hence‚ the buoyant force on a submerged object is the

Archimedes was among the greatest mathematicians of antiquity. Mathematicians usually cover a breadth of topics within mathematics in their undergraduate education‚ and then proceed to specialize in topics of their own choice at the graduate-level. In some universities‚ a qualifying exam serves to test both the breadth and depth of a student’s understanding of mathematics; the students who pass are permitted to work on a doctoral dissertation. A mathematician is a person with an extensive knowledge of mathematics who

A fertilizer spreader is a metal hopper with an adjustable trough underneath for applying an even layer of fertilizer over lawns and gardens. Some spreaders connect with a tow hitch to the back of a tractor. Smaller models have a handle and wheels for pushing the spreader yourself. As with all garden tools‚ cleaning your spreader after each use will prolong the life of the equipment and ensure proper operation. A garden hose may be used‚ but a power washer works best. 1. Empty the hopper of all

Luckily for me‚ I’m standing next to a power switch and if I pull the lever of the switch‚ the train will divert into a different track. However‚ there is one person working on this track and if I pull the switch‚ that rail worker will die. Here’s what I would do. I would in fact pull the lever of the switch to spare the

INTRODUCTION Laboratory experiment 5 is an exercise in hydrostatic. It is designed to demonstrate the stability of a floating cylinder and to familiarize the student with the concept of buoyancy‚ metacenter and metacentric height. It is also an experimental verification of the theory presented in the textbook. The center of the buoyancy of a floating body depends on the shape of the body and on the position in which it is floating. If the body is disturbed by a small angle of heel‚ the center
