Brute force and pure strength do not win battles. Archimedes‚ a Greek genius proved that to be true by winning many battles despite not being the best strategist or having the best army; building and inventing war machines led him to his victory. Archimedes’ inventions have completely altered the way warfare was fought. Firstly‚ to defend the Romans off when Syracuse was fighting the Second Punic war‚ Archimedes invented war machines that were effective and required significantly lesser amount of

He was born in c. 287 BC in Syracuse Sicily‚ he died in c. 212 BC said to be around the age of 75. In his lifetime he had many great works in mathematics‚ physics‚ engineering‚ inventing and he

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

"Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand‚ and I will move the world." Archimedes By Alex Christopher Archimedes was a mathematician‚ physicist‚ engineer‚ inventor and astronomer in ancient Greece. He was born in 287 BC and lived until 212 BC in Syracuse‚ Sicily where he lived his whole life‚ except for when he went to school. Archimedes father was an astronomer and the family was related to the king of Syracuse. His family had money so they were able to afford to send him to school

for the tyrant of Siracuse‚ Hiero II.Since this was one of the biggest ships in its time it would be inevitable that it would take on water.Therefore‚ Archimedes’s screw was used to pump the water back into the sea. It is unclear whether or not Archimedes designed this pump for the use on the ship but it is widely thought that the great mathematician invented such a tool to help Egyptians maneuver water from lower land to higher for watering the fields. This invention has survived the winds of

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: DENSITY Introduction According to the definition Density is the physical property that allows us to compare the mass of substances for a specific volume. In this Lab activity that took place in Deree College‚ Agia Paraskevi Campus we deal with the density of solids and density of liquids. The main purpose of this experiment is to understand what in reality density means‚ how we can measure it‚ how useful it is‚ what is the difference between density of solids and liquids

10/1/13 Cubs Density The purpose of this experiment is to find out the density of the unknown solid object by determining the mass and the volume through the experiment. To do this we will be get the mass of the object and determine the volume of the object by placing it into a liquid. Then we will divide mass by volume and get its density.

Throughout the lab I found out that both of the small and large silver rod‚ do not have the same density‚ and also found out that the gold rod is not real gold. My hypothesis is that since‚ the large and small silver rod has about the same density I believe that they would have about the same amount of volume. They both might displace the same amount

with the goldsmith. King Hiero later found out that the crown may not have been of pure gold‚ but made of a gold and silver mix. Hiero called in a young man by the name of Archimedes because he was capable of revealing the truth. How did Archimedes use his principle to solve King Hiero’s problem? One day‚ while Archimedes was getting into the bath tub‚ he noticed that the more he walked into the tub‚ the more water that ran out of the tub. He found out that when an object is immersed under
