What year was the baseball cap invented?

History has not recorded that information although it is known that a team in the 1860s called the Brooklyn Excelsiors wore caps that looked somewhat like today's caps in that they had a rounded top. There were no rules back then that stated players had to wear a cap so most did not wear one although some players would wear a straw hat with a large brim to shade their face from the sun.


Describe Archimedes' Principle and how it is used to determine whether or not an object will float in a fluid?

The Principle states that the mass of a liquid displaced by a floating body is equal to the mass of that body. So if you fill a tumbler up with water to the brim, put an object into it, weigh the water that has been pushed out of the tumbler, and compare that with the weight of the object, you'll know whether it floats ot not. If you're doing this with a large object like a ship you'd need to calculate by measurement how much water is going to be displaced by the weight of the ship (also calculated). Hopefully, it's be the same, or your ship will sink.


What did noblemen wear?

Fashions varied not only over time but also in different countries. An Italian noblemen did not look like a Scottish nobleman, and so on. In England, noblemen wore underclothes of fine linen or silk, or even cotton which was very expensive at this time. They wore separate leggings called hose, a tuinic that might reach the ankles and an overtunic called a surcoat which usually had no sleeves and might be lined with fur. Turn shoes or boots were worn on the feet and he might wear a tall hat with a narrow brim and a cloak for travel. The same nobleman would also have a suit of armour, still mainly of mail at this period but with hardened leather or metal pieces protecting knees, elbows and shoulders. Helmets were the early bascinet style, sometimes with a visor but often without.


Effect of world wars on fashion during World War I from 1914 -1918 between the wars 1919-1939world war 2 1939-1945?

From 1914 to 1918 I see no major changes. The bra was patented in 1914 I think, but it was not commonly worn until after the war. In the 1920's followed an incredible period of decadence with pinstripe suits, snap brim hats, and flapper dresses. Only the World War 1 trench coat remained apparently, judging by old movies. In the 30's came the Great Depression, and anyone who was dressed was in style.I can think of only two examples of how World War 2 affected fashion, and both pertain to women's fashion. First, dress lengths which had lowered in the 30's were raised in the 40's (although not as high as the 20's) to conserve cloth for uniforms and other military essentials. Second, many women adopted pants for their new factory jobs, and they have been worn by women ever since.Toward the end of the war, nylon replaced silk for stockings, a possible by-product of the war, but I do not know. All I know is that parachutes were once made of silk, and later they were made of nylon.
