Archimedes' principle of confusion regarding Archimedes' principle is the meaning of displaced volume. Common demonstrations involve measuring the rise in water level when an object floats on the surface in order to calculate the displaced water. This measurement approach fails with a buoyant submerged object because the rise in the water level is directly related to the volume of the object and not the mass (except if the effective density of the object equals exactly the fluid density). (note that this idea is not Archimedes' principle). Archimedes' principle Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body
Garden of Archimedes Garden of Archimedes The Garden of Archimedes (Italian: "Il Giardino Di Archimede") is a museum for mathematics in Florence, Italy. It was founded on March 26, 2004 and opened its doors to the public on April 14 of that year. The mission of the museum is to enhance public understanding and perception of mathematics, to bring mathematics out of the shadows and into the limelight. It has been compared to the National Museum of Mathematics in New York City, the only museum in North America devoted to mathematics. The Garden of Archimedes was set up in 2004 by a consortium
