Contents Figures Abstract An experiment was designed and conducted to confirm Archimedes’ theory which states that an object will float in water providing its mass is equal to or less than the volume of water it displaces. The second objective of the experiment was to produce a value for water density. It was expected that when additional mass was added to a floating vessel‚ it would displace more fluid and the increasing submerged volume of water could be measured‚ and a value for water

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

10 years old‚ he went away to Alexandria Egypt‚ to study mathematics in depth. His father was an astronomer known as Phidias and made this decision to further his knowledge and gain a great education. He also wanted him to be away from the war. Archimedes is best known for his war machines and was responsible for some of the most smartest inventions of his era. Some being the death ray‚ iron claw‚ and catapults were responsible for killing off large numbers of the Roman army during the war of Syracuse

Proving the Principles of Force I. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is best understood by the statement of that the net force is described as having a direct proportional relationship to acceleration while having an inverse relation to mass‚ this lab is performed to study the roles of these two variables in the real world and see firsthand how they play a role in net force as well as to test the following hypothesis. II. Hypothesis: If an Atwood machine is used to calculate acceleration on a pulley

"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

He also give the names of the people who created the different math techniques so we can blame them. “Archimedes of Syracuse was the quintessential math nerd.” He used math to beat the Romans who were attacking in 212 B.C. He was so engrossed in math that when the Roman invaded‚ he didn’t even notice. He was too busy drawing math in the sand. Stories of Archimedes went around the world until a young French girl named Sophie Germain. Before his untimely death‚ he came precariously
