Archimedes Principle simply states that the buoyant force acting on an object equals the weight (force of gravity) of the fluid displaced by the object.
He came to formulate it when he was in the tub, he noticed that before he got in, the water was at the rim and after he got in, the water had spilled over the top.

code of duty
Who is Archimedes and what was his invention?
Archimedes did many things, such as: developed ideas that proved essential to the formation of calculus, found a very accurate value for pi, solved the problem of buoyancy, established the law of the lever, defined the spiral, used the method of exhaustion to calculate the area of the arc of a parabola, found an ingenious system for expressing large numbers, came up with the fulcrum, and devised a method of displacement volumes. Archimedes got the reputation of saying outlandish things. However, after he staged a performance for the king and his court where he pulled a trireme up onto the beach all by himself using a system of pulleys, a law was then passed that anything Archimedes said was to be considered true. When the Romans were conquering Sicily they put together a special troop who's task was to capture Archimedes alive. Alas he was killed by a soldier from another troop who didn't know who the old man was. Archimedes' last words were 'Don't disturb my circles.'
One political principle that colonial Americans came to cherish above most others was?
The property qualification for voting.
Where Americans came from?
maybe they want to live there i guess its hard to explain anyway lol :)
Why has octavius come to rome?
Octavius came to Rome to claim his inheritance. He was Julius Caesar's principle heir and adopted son.
Who came out with pi?
Archimedes
What are the 6 giant ancient Greeks of geometry?
1.Thales of Miletus- the very fist person to be known because of its intelligence. 2. Pythagoras of Samos- student of Thales 3. Plato- PLATONIC SOLIDS came from him. 4. Aristotle- student of Plato 5. Archimedes- ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE came from him 6. Euclid- known to be the father of geometry.
What famous Greek mathematician came up with an approximate value for pi by circumscribing circles in and around regular polygons?
It was Archimedes.
What is the name of the Greek scientist who came up with the idea of displacement?
Archimedes
Prince Philip in Malta 1953?
He came to take lessons in how to formulate a question.
Why did an enraged Roman soldier kill Archimedes?
Archimedes was trying to test an experiment to see how to focus light with big iron plates. the Roman came and accidently interfered with the experiment and Archimedes had a go at him. The Roman soldier not recognising or not caring about Archimedes brilliant mind and discoveries killed him on the spot
Who came up with circumference?
Archimedes, a famous Greek mathematician, born about 287 B.C.
What contributions did Archimedes have on math?
He was the only one that came close to determing the value of pi.
Why did Archimedes make the pulley?
because king heroin challenged Archimedes to bring a ship to the beach single handedly. so archimendes thought and thought then came up with the pully
Who came up with the idea behind probability?
Pierre-Simon Laplace was perhaps the first to formulate a theory of probability, but I also like Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. In Science Fiction, the fabulous Douglas Adams dared to imagine the improbability drive, which took the whole concept into hyperspace!
Who came up with the idea of measuring mass by immersion?
Archimedes of Syracuse thought of this method while taking a bath. He was trying to determine if a golden crown had been tampered with with lesser metals.
What did Archimedes do in science?
Archimedes was a Greek scientist. He contributed to the fields of mathematics, science, and engineering. He made many achievements in these fields. To name a few: * He found that he could find a sphere's volume when he compared it to a cylinder of similar size. * He invented a machine that could be used to irrigate crops. * He created a system that allowed him to express very large numbers. * He used buoyancy to help determine volume.
