What are the devices based on Archimedes principle?
Ships
What do Archimedes principal help to explain?
Archimedes principal explains buoyancy. The principle makes its use in ships and submarines.
What are some Greek gifts that you still use today?
1. Archimedes' principle - while constructing ships
What inventions of Archimedes are still being used today?
One invention Archimedes invented is the Archimedes Screw. It's still used today to irrigate crops.
What is Archimedes principle Explain hot it enables heavy ships to float?
Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This principle enables heavy ships to float by pushing aside an amount of water equal to the weight of the ship, thus creating an upward buoyant force that balances the weight of the ship and keeps it afloat.
What did Archimedes do with mirrors?
Archimedes invented a device to set fire to ships. This used mirrors to focus the rays of the sun on the ships which were attacking the city.
What can a submarine do that other ships can't?
A submarine can operate under water while other ships cannot, and a submarine can surface after going under water, while other ships can't.If everything is working correctly, a submarine can surface after sinking, while other ships cannot.
Why is Archimedes' principle important?
Archimedes' principle is important because it explains how objects float or sink in fluids. It helps in determining the buoyant force acting on objects submerged in a fluid, which is crucial in designing ships, submarines, and other floating structures. The principle also has applications in a wide range of fields, including engineering, physics, and biology.
What are the Uses of submarine?
A submarine is to spy on ship movements and if necessary sink ships
What did Archimedes use magnets for?
Archimedes is purported to have used loadstones to remove nails from enemy ships thus sinking them.
Why do big metal ships float and not sink?
Big metal ships are designed with a specific shape and structure that displaces enough water to generate buoyancy, which allows them to float. The weight of the ship is spread out over a large enough area, preventing it from sinking. The principle of buoyancy, based on Archimedes' principle, explains why objects float or sink in a fluid.
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.
