Famous Works

---Archimedes Principle of Hydrostatics: This states that a body immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. I first found this principle when I was taking a bath. While taking a bath, I noticed that the level of the water rose when I got in. I suddenly realized that I could use this to find out how dense an object is. I became so excited that I rushed out into the streets naked shouting "Eureka!" which means "I have found it!"



---The Claw of Archimedes: I designed this weapon to defend the city of Syracuse. The claw was a crane-like arm from which a gigantic large grappling hook was suspended. The claw would drop onto the enemy ships then the arm would swing up, lifting the ship out of the water and sometimes sinking it.

--- Pie: I used the method of exhaustion to approximate and extremely accurate value of pie which is between 3.1429 - 3.1408.

---Sphere and Cylinder: I proved that the volume and surface area of the sphere is 2/3rds of that of a cylinder, including its bases. This is one of my favorite mathamatical proofs and and probably one of the greatest achievements I have ever done.
