Force suspended on a vertical spring scale experiences the force of gravity acting on the object balanced by a force applied by the "spring reaction force", which equals the object's weight. Using such tools, some quantitative force laws were discovered: that the force of gravity is proportional to volume for objects of constant density (widely exploited for millennia to define standard weights); Archimedes' principle for buoyancy; Archimedes' analysis of the lever; Boyle's law for gas pressure; and Hooke's law for springs. These were all formulated and experimentally verified before Isaac Newton expounded his Three Laws of Motion. Dynamic equilibrium was first
Three Laws of Robotics Three Laws. However, the 1960s German TV series "Raumpatrouille – Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion" ("Space Patrol – the Fantastic Adventures of Space Ship Orion") bases episode three titled ""Hüter des Gesetzes"" ("Guardians of the Law") on Asimov's Three Laws without mentioning the source. References to the Three Laws have appeared in popular music ("Robot" from Hawkwind's 1979 album "PXR5"), cinema ("Repo Man", "Aliens", ""), cartoon series ("The Simpsons"), tabletop roleplaying games (Paranoia) and webcomics ("Piled Higher and Deeper" and "Freefall"). Robby the Robot in "Forbidden Planet" (1956) has a hierarchical command structure which keeps him from harming humans,
