What is the principle of Archimedes?
This law of physics never fails its tests and nobody disputes it. It states the ratio of buoyancy and since it is a basic law it is widely useful as a guide and a measuring unit. For example, the principle of Archimedes is used to gauge the buoyancy of a boat and the density of a new plastic. The great thinkers of ancient Greece were highly respected by the citizens and nobles of their day. In the second century B.C., Archimedes enjoyed life in the Sicilian city of Syracuse. But even his devoted neighbors never dared to suspect that the Twentieth Century would rate their home town genius among the greatest brains of all human history. Archimedes was basically a mathematician. The problems that fascinated him most were about different substances, their weights and volumes and the forces that made them move. This field of matter and energy is the vast and practical science we call physics. And Archimedes was a practical man. He is called the Father of Experimental Science because he test
