Best Answer

Archimedes

Alternate Answer:

The principle of the lever might be stated as; 'Give me a firm place to stand and I shall move the world.'

This is the principle behind the lever, but it is also basic to every electric motor that exists, every gas engine that exists, every diesel engine that exists, every engine that exists and every rocket motor or jet engine that exists. It is far, far more important than 'the lever'. His principle did move the world into the Industrial and Rocket Ages and gave us electricity.

He was possibly more important to Mechanics than Newton.

Yes, it was Archimedes. You might inform you teacher.
