I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT ARCHIMEDES.
Archimedes was a Greek mathematician and engineer who lived between 287-212 B.C. His greatest contributions are in the field of geometry and in the development of war machines.
Archimedes may have instead sought a solution that applied the principle known in hydrostatics as Archimedes' principle,
 Archimedes' principle  states that a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. The principle applies to both floating and submerged bodies and to all fluids, i.e., liquids and gases.
