How Did Archimedes Contribute To Society

The Ancient Greeks contributed a lot to modern society, but the biggest contribution of them was their contributions to the field of science and mathematics. To start off, the Pythagorean theorem contributed a lot to the field of mathematics. What the Pythagorean theorem does is help us to calculate the lengths of the sides of right triangles. Secondly, Archimedes contributed a ton to both fields. One of the most famous things that Archimedes did was find out if a crown that the king had ordered was made of solid gold. What Archimedes did first compare the weights of gold and silver when immersed in water(he compared it with silver because that was what the crown was suspected to be partly made of). The next thing he did with the crown was immerse it in the
The Archimedes screw worked by putting a screw inside of a tight tube, the screw was then turned once in the water. Each little part that jutted out collected water in it, and at the top, it poured the water out. The last but not least thing on this collection of facts is about Archimedes own law of displacement. The law of displacement stated that when any body, partially or fully submerged in a fluid(both liquid and gas) was at rest, is acted upon an upward buoyant force that keeps is equal to the amount of fluid displaced, by the body. In other words, if a body of something displaces enough fluid, say water, one will float, because to weight is equal to the amount of water that is being pushed away and displaced. Most all of the things that are here have contributed to today's society, the Archimedes screw helped inspire to propeller, Archimedes law of displacement explained how to make things float, Archimedes law of buoyancy(displacement) helped us figure out how to calculate density today, and the Pythagorean theorem still helps people calculate the lengths of right
