Archimedes

thousands of years after their death. Archimedes One example of an ancient Greek scientist that has discovered a lot of what we know about physics is Archimedes. Archimedes was a mathematician, physicist, and an inventor. He is known for inventing the Archimedean screw, the lever, the catapult, and crane. The Archimedean screw was used to irrigate water. It was a tube with a screw in it and when you turned the screw water would rise up the tube. Archimedes also is known for inventing the…

Experiment 2: The Size of Molecules & Avogadro’s Number Name: Julia Bland Lab Section: Tuesday A.M. (11:30) TA’s Name: Yuogi Date: October 15th Course: CHEM 1001 Abstract: Avogadro’s number is one of the vital constants in the chemistry world, used in a multitude of experimental and theoretical calculations. This lab endeavours to experimentally measure Avogadro’s number by adding drops of stearic acid into a known area of distilled water, and using this data, calculate the molecules in…

Archimedes was a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, engineer and inventor. Archimedes was the first big mathematician, as well as consider the best mathematician of that era. Archimedes was born in the Greek city-state of Syracuse. His father, Phidias, was an astronomer. The fact that his father was an astronomer made him motivated to do all the inventions he did. He was really close to King Hieron and his son, Gelon. He worked for them, when he lived in Alexandria. He invented the sciences…

the buoyant force of different objects using experiment on Archimedes principle. Hypothesis: If the weight of the water displaced is less than the weight of the object, the objects will sink. Otherwise the object will float, with the weight of the water-displaced equal to the weight of the object. The buoyancy force on the submerged object is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object. Introduction: Archimedes' principle indicates that the upward…

Archimedes was a great mathematician. He lived in Syracuse, Sicily. He was born around 287 BC. During his childhood he may have studied in Alexandria, Egypt. During his time there he newly considered Conon of Samos (who was close in age to Archimedes) a friend. Later in life, nobody knows if he had a wife or children. He died around 212 BC. There are different stories of how he died. One is that when Romans Soldiers captured Syracuse, a soldier found Archimedes working on a math…

Archemetes the War Hero William Catanese Archimedes is considered one of the most known mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and inventors of ancient times. Although much of his life is unknown, he is still a great contributor to mathematics, in which he did modern calculus and associated mathematics to physical occurrences, Founding Hydro statistics, which include an exclamation of the principle of the liver. Archimedes has also originated an exact number for pie, explaining the spiral it's…

Archimedesś rule was established by Archimedesś a researcher who experienced the old greek city of Syracuse. Hiero was the ruler and Archimedes cousin who won a hard fight. Hiero was grateful to the divine beings for his triumph, and to demonstrate his gratefulness, he put in a specific sanctuary, a crown in their regard. Hiero weighed out a correct measure of gold, and picking a specific goldsmith, instructed him to configuration out of the gold a crown for the divine beings. The goldsmith did…

began having an interest in mathematics when the Bastille fell and everyone was confined inside their homes, she would go inside her father’s library and read. She fell in love with a story about Archimedes and wanted to be just like him and from then on she wanted to know what was so interesting to Archimedes that he would fail to realize his own impending death. From then on, she found a love for mathematics and for solving different equations. At that time period…

Sir Isaac Newton and Archimedes of Syracuse are both very notable physicians and mathematicians. Each had his own achievements and theories; yet, they both made groundbreaking laws and had compelling ideologies. This essay will briefly discuss the lives and achievements of both Newton and Archimedes. We will also compare and contrast the works of both men. On the 25th day of December in the year of our Lord, 1642, Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom of Great…
