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
By which principle ship moves in ocean?
archimedes principle
Why stone sink in water but ship does not?
due to Archimedes principle
What is the Archimedes screw used for today?
The Archimedes screw is used for irrigating crops and liftin water from mines and ship bilges.
How do you weight a ship?
Archimedes principle. See how much water it displaces.
What are some real life examples of Archimedes' principle?
Total water displaced by a ship is equal to the Weight of the ship is a live example
What was the purpose of the Archimedes screw?
Its Purpose was to irrigate and lift water From mines and Ship Bilges
What keeps ships afloat and why?
The weight of water displaced by the floating ship is less than the weight of the ship. So it floats. Thanks to Archimedes!
How do ships use Archimedes principle?
Archimedes principle led to the Plimsoll Line, which is marks painted near the bows of a ship. Basically, a ship on salt water floats higher and can carry more cargo. While a ship on fresh water will float lower and can safely carry less cargo. Samual Plimsoll introduced the Plimsoll Line to solved the hazard of capsizing posed by overloading a ship.
Why is ship floating on the water but it is made of metal?
Because the volume of water it displaces weighs more than the ship. Archimedes principle says that the upwards force on the ship is equal to the weight (mass) of fluid displaced - so the ship floats
What is a ship made from?
mainly ship is made of mild steel... It is given hydrodynamic shape... By Archimedes principle it floats.. sacrificial anode is provided at the aft so that it gets consumed rather than the hull of the ship and then only it is replaced
Impact of Archimedes?
Archimedes inventions changed the world because for example, we wouldn't be able to ship military cargo, or have Cruise ships due to this man. This man found out buoyancy which is covered in Archimedes principal. Have you ever wondered how big cargo ships float float? They float because the volume is more than the mass of the actual ship. That means that the density of the ship is lower. Now if the ship had more mass than volume, the boats would sink to the bottom of the ocean. Thank you Archimedes
