What would the world be like without fractions?
it wouldn't
Why is not possible for the Archimedes to move the Earth with the lever?
For Archimedes to move the Earth with a lever he would need: - a rock to put under the Earth (to act as a fulcrum) - a board/stick long enough & strong enough to lift the Earth - somewhere to stand....he can't stand ON the Earth and move it, so where would he stand?..........in space?
What would the world be without math?
We would not be. Everything you see is a mathematical formula. Water, humans, fruit, chicken................................. Everything!!!!!
What is the most important study?
Math is the most important study because everything in this modern world is related and uses math.Without there would have nothing.I wonder how would this world be without math.
What is the story behind Archimedes principle?
The Story Behind the ScienceHieron, the king of Syracuse and Archimedes' friend, wanted to know whether his crown was made of solid gold. The king suspected that the gold had been mixed with silver, which is worth less than gold. So he asked Archimedes to try to resolve the question. The solution would have been easy if the king had allowed the crown to be melted down. Since that was no possible, Archimedes had to find another solution to determine the metal content of the crown. Archimedes discovered the answer while at a public bath. He noticed that when he got into the water, it overflowed the tub. By measuring the overflow, he found that the volume-the amount of space a thing occupies-of the spilled water was equal to the volume of his body under water. He realized he could determine the gold content of the crown by measuring the water it would displace against the amount of water displaced by a lump of gold weighing the same as the crown. The crown and lump of gold would each displace the same amount of water if the crown were solid gold. If the crown contained silver, it would displace more water, since the volume of a weight of silver is greater than the volume of the same weight of gold. With this discovery, Archimedes leaped from his bath and in his excitement raced naked down the street toward his home, shouting "EUREKA! I have found it!"Archimedes was the first to develop the physical law that is now known as Archimedes' law. The law explains buoyancy, or why objects seem to lose weight in water or other liquids. This principle has been applied ever since to test precious metals.
