Objective:
In this experiment our objective is to study the forces acting on a
scale when a person jumps on it. The scale is a force probe connected to a
CBL or a LabPro. Collected data will be stored in a graphing calculator
and can be analysed either with the calculator or a computer, using
previously collected data.

Archimedes of Syracuse - born
287 BC in Siracuse (Sicily). He is considered by most
historians of mathematics as one of the greatest
mathematicians of all time. He perfected a methods of
integration which allowed him to find areas, volumes and
surface areas of many bodies In mechanics Archimedes
discovered fundamental theorems concerning the centre of
gravity of plane figures and solids. His most famous theorem
gives the weight of a body immersed in a liquid, called
Archimedes' principle. He achieved fame by his mechanical
inventions, many of his machines were used as engines of
war. |
