The discovery of archimedes

The discovery of Archimedes

Sicily is made up of many islands. One such island is the port city of Sicily, named Syracuse. Syracuse was the heart of business, art, and science in the third century BC. A son was born in the house of Fidas, an astronomer and mathematician from Syracuse, in 26 BC. And this infant son is Archimedes. Not much is known about Archimedes' infancy. Archimedes was thirsty for knowledge. He migrated to Alexandria, Egypt, the land of knowledge, hoping to gain knowledge. The city of Alexandria was founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great. Euclid, a famous mathematician, lived in Alexandria at that time. He wrote a book on Greek geometry, collecting formulas, edits, theorems. That book "The Elements" has been called the basic book of geometry education for two thousand years. After finishing school, Archimedes returned to Syracuse.



Screw of Archimedes: The name of the king of Syracuse is Hierro II. From the writings of the Greek writer Athenas of Necrates, it is known that the king built a huge ship. At that time the ship could carry six hundred people. The ship had a garden, a gymnasium, and a temple to the goddess Aphrodite. Once upon a time, King Hierro's ark was flooded with rainwater. Irrigation of water from such a big ship is becoming quite a problem. King Hiero summoned Archimedes. Solve the problem, Pandit. Archimedes built a machine. He took a hollow tube. A bar was placed inside the tube. Attach a spiral coil to the bar. Putting the handle on one end of the bar. When the handle is turned, water is coming out of the vessel through the tube. Archimedes' formula is still used to extract water from the ground for cultivation in developing countries. The description of Vitruvius shows that the Romans knew how to use the screw of Archimedes. One of the wonders of the Seven Gods of the world was the irrigation of water in the hanging garden of Babylon with the help of screw pumps. In 1839, the world's first steam-powered ship floated on water. He used a screw propeller like Archimedes' screw on the ship. The ship was named SS Archimedes in honor of Archimedes.

Mass Eternity Source: According to Vitruvius, King Hiero of Syracuse wanted to make a new crown for offering in the temple of the god. The newly created crown must be pure gold. The goldsmith was called. The goldsmith agreed. Who in the kingdom has the courage to obey the king's orders! He sent pure gold to the goldsmith's house. Then it was the king's turn to wait. Once a goldsmith appeared in the royal palace in the royal palace. The king weighed in with the jeweler. No! This crown weighs the same as the gold given by the king. Yet the king began to have doubts. The nature of goldsmiths is to steal. He made sure the weight of the crown was just right by mixing silver with some gold. Where will he go with the hoax. Call Archimedes. Archimedes was called. The king's crown was very much liked. He is not willing to break it.

King Hiero liked Archimedes very much. Most of the rulers of the world valued art literature. But they had a bad temper. If he instructed me to do something, he would say, you have to do it or I'll take your neck. The king told Archimedes to diagnose the shape of the crown but the crown could not be broken. Archimedes became very tense. Many of us stop eating nava when we get tense. I don't know if Archimedes stopped eating, but he didn't. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Archimedes went to bathe in the hammam. In those days people could take a bath in the hammam. Udom used to take off all his clothes and lie down in the bathtub. Archimedes was lost in thought. He landed in the bathtub of Taitumbur. Some water overflowed. Archimedes was struck by lightning. He suddenly solved his problem. He will be able to find out the size of the golden crown by the amount of water removed by the crown. The volume of water removed by the object is equal to the volume of the object. Archimedes was fascinated by his own discovery. He could not sleep any longer. He then ran to the royal palace. He did not notice that he was not wearing any clothes. Naked Archimedes ran through the streets of Sicily shouting "Eureka" "Eureka". Eureka in Greek means I got it. Greek: "Oh!". If gold is mixed with any other low density metal, the amount of water removed will be less than the amount of water removed by pure gold. Archimedes proved by experiment that the crown was adulterated with silver. The Latin poem "Carmen de Ponderibas at Mensuris", written in the 4th or 5th century, speaks of the discovery of the golden crown of Archimedes.

Death of Archimedes: Sicily was important for geographical and political reasons. The terrible Second Punic War between the Romans and Carthage began. Situated between the two countries, Sicily could not avoid the war. Archimedes' mathematical technique enabled Syracuse to defend himself for about two years. Archimedes placed huge mirrors on the sea shore. Reflecting sunlight in a mirror, he would set fire to enemy ships. At that time ships were made of wood. We all know the relationship between wood and fire. Nothing anywhere. Suddenly hot air came and set the ship on fire. The enemy was overwhelmed in this matter. Then at one point the Romans occupied the city. According to the famous historian Plutarch, in 212 BC, "Marcus Claudius Marcellus" conquered Syracuse. Marcellus had great respect for the mathematician Archimedes. He wanted to see His Majesty. He told the soldiers to bring Archimedes to his court. The nature of the royal soldiers is such that if they are asked to be captured, they are bound. Archimedes has no idea that this disaster is going on in the country. He was engrossed in solving any complex problem in mathematics. The soldiers ordered Archimedes to accompany him to the house of Marseilles. Archimedes disobeyed the army's orders and again immersed himself in solving mathematical problems. Many say that Archimedes' last words were "Don't bother me." [English: "Do not disturb my circles" (Greek: μή μου τοὺς κύκλους,), (Latin: "Noli turbare circulos meos,")] No credible source can be found for the last moment Archimedes said this. When there is a weapon in hand, human nature becomes violent. The soldier could not control his temper. Unleashing the sword from the cell, he continued along Archimedes' neck. The world lost a great man forever. At the age of seventy-five. Not exactly lost. I will become you all one day. The future will forever remember some knowledge-hungry great man like Archimedes.

Upon hearing of Archimedes' death, Marcellus was greatly distressed. In the old days, the corpses of the enemy were taken away in various ways. Marcellus ordered that Archimedes' funeral be performed with due respect. The sphere was placed inside a cylinder in his tomb according to Archimedes' previous wish. This is a famous discovery of Archimedes. Many of us read while in school. The volume of the sphere is two thirds of the ion of the cylinder. But have I ever tried to find out who is the first to prove it?

Sicily was ruled by the Roman emperor Orato Cicero, 138 years after the death of Archimedes in 65 BC. He learned of the tomb of Archimedes. But did not know any exact information about its location. The locals could not provide any information. He found the abandoned tomb of Archimedes near the Agrigenten Gate in Syracuse. A lot of wild plants have grown on the broken tomb. Cicero cleans the tomb. He was able to decipher some of the inscriptions on the tombstone. Then the tomb of Archimedes is lost again in the womb of time. An abandoned tomb in the backyard of a Syracuse hotel in 1970 is claimed to be the tomb of Archimedes.
