    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

    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

    three of those mathematicians: Archimedes of Syracuse‚ Isaac Newton‚ and Leonhard Euler. Archimedes of Syracuse Archimedes was born in a Greek city-state of Syracuse‚ Sicily in 287 BC. He was killed during a Roman incursion in 212 BC during the Second Punic War. Archimedes was purportedly largely responsible for the defense of Syracuse as they held the Romans off for two years with the use of his war machines. Most of the information we currently have about Archimedes is anecdotal. Important figures

    Archimedes’ principle Main article: Archimedes’ principle Archimedes’ principle is named after Archimedes of Syracuse‚ who first discovered this law in 212 B.C.[2] For more objects‚ floating and sunken‚ and in gases as well as liquids (i.e. a fluid)‚ Archimedes’ principle may be stated thus in terms of forces: Any object‚ wholly or partially immersed in a fluid‚ is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. — Archimedes of Syracuse with the

    History of Pi There are many people who have discovered and proved what pi is. As time goes on people discover more and more of the seemingly random numbers. Four of the people who proved pi are the Liu Hui‚ Archimedes of Syracuse‚ James Gregory‚ and the Bible. The first proof I will be talking about is Liu Hui’s. Liu Hui was a Chinese mathematician whose method for proving pi was to find the area of a polygon inscribed in a circle. When the number of sides on the inscribed polygon increased

    a gas‚ the incompressibility of water‚ Boyle’s law‚ Pascal’s law‚ and Archimedes’ law. Boyle’s Law states that under conditions of constant temperature and quantity‚ there is an inverse relationship between the volume and pressure for an ideal gas. Pascal’s Law states that if pressure is applied to a non-flowing fluid in a container‚ then that pressure is transmitted equally in all directions within the container. Archimedes’ principles is an upward force on an object immersed in a fluid (a liquid
