What is the process used by Archimedes to determine the volume of a sphere with equal weights?
THE Method of Equilibrium
What was Archimedes discovery about sphere and cylinder?
He discovered the relationship between a sphere and a circumscribed cylinder of the same height and diameter. The volume is 4⁄3πr3 for the sphere, and 2πr3 for the cylinder. The surface area is 4πr2 for the sphere, and 6πr2 for the cylinder (including its two bases), where r is the radius of the sphere and cylinder. The sphere has a volume and surface area two-thirds that of the cylinder. A sculpted sphere and cylinder were placed on the tomb of Archimedes at his request.
How to find the volume of a sphere?
Volume of a sphere = 4/3*pi*radius3
When did Archimedes find out how to measure volume of an irregular shape?
215bc
Why was Archimedes important to the world?
Archimedes is especially important for his discovery of the relation between the surface and volume of a sphere and its circumscribing cyclinder. He is known for his formulation of a hydrostatic principle (known as Archimedes' principle) and a device for raising water, still used in developing countries, known as the Archimedes screw.
