A Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. He was also one of the first to apply mathematics to physical phenomena, founding hydrostatics and statics, including an explanation of the principle of the lever. He is credited with designing innovative machines such as his screw pump, and compound pulleys. He also discovered that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the center of mass of the displaced fluid, known as _________________ Principle.
