hello!

hi!

helo

Hello

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:46:53 UTC

Good evening, everyone! Since we are down to discussing Fluid Mechanics, how about we explore what Archimedes' Principle really is?

nsafabia3 — 2021-01-17 12:47:44 UTC

That’s a great idea! Let’s see, as far as I have read, the origin of this principle began when Archimedes was attested to prove that the crown of King Hieron does not purely contain gold ‘di ba? If I remember it correctly, he spent a huge amount of time figuring a specific method but only to no avail.

sjogonzales — 2021-01-17 12:47:46 UTC

So, this is a story of a goldsmith versus a prominent scientist—Archimedes. Hmmm.

egsestrellado — 2021-01-17 12:48:25 UTC

Oh, I see. But between the two, who’s really telling the truth?

John_Andrew_D_Suarez — 2021-01-17 12:48:43 UTC

I think it was the goldsmith. I couldn’t anticipate a reason why that person would swindle the king. Come on, it could cause his life! HAHAHAHA!

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:49:09 UTC

Hmmm, you forgot about money. Money is the reason why humans commit crimes. Perhaps, that person can risk his/her life just for the sake of money.

nsafabia3 — 2021-01-17 12:49:40 UTC

But I suppose it will definitely be Archimedes, right? Considering his reputable status as a mathematician and scientist no one will ever give him the benefit of doubt.

nsafabia3 — 2021-01-17 12:49:54 UTC

Tsaka wala sana tayong pinag-aaralang Archimedes’ Principle ngayon kung mali siya, right? HAHAHAHA!

nsafabia3 — 2021-01-17 12:50:05 UTC

Ano bang ambag nung goldsmith? Char 1/2 HAHAHA!

sjogonzales — 2021-01-17 12:50:10 UTC

Sa true lang. Come on! It was Archimedes! HAHAHA!

sjogonzales — 2021-01-17 12:50:24 UTC

Usapang #AnongAmbagMo pala ‘to? HAHAHAHA!

egsestrellado — 2021-01-17 12:50:37 UTC

Kidding aside, let us now break down what Archimedes has to say. If we would understand his principle of buoyancy, it clearly illustrates a logical explanation between the relationship of an object and a quantifying amount of displaced fluid.

John_Andrew_D_Suarez — 2021-01-17 12:50:53 UTC

That is absolutely correct! While he thought long and hard to prove the real composition of the crown, he himself was the root of this legendary discovery!

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:51:10 UTC

It is when he filled that bathtub with water, right? And as he went into it to give himself a bath while still roughly thinking of a way to prove the crown's nature, he saw something he never knew would be such a life changing knowledge.

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:51:31 UTC

As a matter of fact, he went running on the streets of Syracuse naked while shouting “Eureka!” which means “I have it” when he discovered this principle.

nsafabia3 — 2021-01-17 12:52:00 UTC

I am wondering, what kind of water he used when he made this discovery? Baka pwede ko ring gamitin para tumalino ako :<

sjogonzales — 2021-01-17 12:52:03 UTC

Why is this world so unfair? I submerged myself din naman in the bathtub, why didn’t I discover something significant huhu :<

egsestrellado — 2021-01-17 12:52:18 UTC

HAHAHAHAHA! Same!

John_Andrew_D_Suarez — 2021-01-17 12:52:22 UTC

Come on guys! No one wants to see you naked on the streets! Jk, HAHAHA!

John_Andrew_D_Suarez — 2021-01-17 12:52:30 UTC

Nonetheless, sana all may bathtub :<

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:52:40 UTC

Sana all naliligo, char! HAHAHA!

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:52:56 UTC

Going back, this discovery began when the water started overflowing from the edges of his tub. It then explained the physical nature of how one submerged body into the fluid can have the exact same weight as the displaced fluid itself!

nsafabia3 — 2021-01-17 12:53:23 UTC

Oh, kasi ‘di ba one body's weight causes a downward motion of the force into the fluid relatively causing the fluid to exert an upward pushing force equivalent to that of the body.

sjogonzales — 2021-01-17 12:53:29 UTC

So...let me get this straight, an object's body weight basically is equal to that of the fluid's?

egsestrellado — 2021-01-17 12:53:40 UTC

You got iiit! And that's how he proved that the crown was not purely gold! The similarity of the crown's weight to that of the fluid led one thing to another.

John_Andrew_D_Suarez — 2021-01-17 12:53:47 UTC

Whoa...wait lang so the principle does not end here?

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:54:05 UTC

Not even close! Archimedes found out that even though the weights are the same, the volumes varied from each other.

nsafabia3 — 2021-01-17 12:54:20 UTC

Wait volume...hmmm it’s somehow related to obtaining an object’s density right?

sjogonzales — 2021-01-17 12:54:30 UTC

Well from the beginning, his goal was to prove the nature of the crown’s material, that’s when density comes into light.

egsestrellado — 2021-01-17 12:54:39 UTC

That makes sense! Considering na gold is way heavier than any other metals para makagawa ng isang crown.

John_Andrew_D_Suarez — 2021-01-17 12:54:47 UTC

Pa’no ‘yung makes sense? Char!

John_Andrew_D_Suarez — 2021-01-17 12:54:57 UTC

Pero thinking about it, it means that when Archimedes immersed the crown itself into the fluid in his tub, which is water in this case, the “golden” crown did not sink, yet it floated defying its supposed authenticity.

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:55:09 UTC

Awit sa goldsmith :<<

nsafabia3 — 2021-01-17 12:55:15 UTC

Archimedes lang sakalam!! HAHAHAHA

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:55:30 UTC

Sabi ko na mukhang pera ‘yung gold smith ‘e. HAHAHAHA!

sjogonzales — 2021-01-17 12:55:37 UTC

Grabe, realizing it, he contributed something so surreal not only in the scientific aspect but also in our everyday lives as humans.

egsestrellado — 2021-01-17 12:55:48 UTC

Truuuee! Archimedes’ Principle made a breakthrough even in real world applications. Imagine its relevance in the 21st century where different fields have and are continuing to emerge.

John_Andrew_D_Suarez — 2021-01-17 12:56:32 UTC

A good example for this is the discovery that led to our current knowledge concerning how ships and boats stay afloat on the water.

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:56:49 UTC

Exactly! Imagine if this principle was not discovered, there is a high possibility that we, up to this date, could experience frequent accidents in the sea due to sinking vessels.

nsafabia3 — 2021-01-17 12:57:04 UTC

Also, our submarines nowadays will not be able to submerge down to the bottom of the sea and float back on the water without the application of this concept.

sjogonzales — 2021-01-17 12:57:13 UTC

Let’s not forget our earth’s atmosphere is also fluid! In here, the airplane we use to travel from one geographic location to another would not have been made into existence if it weren’t for the ability of a body to float with the air displaced by it.

egsestrellado — 2021-01-17 12:57:25 UTC

Speaking of the atmosphere, this principle also applies to hot-air balloons, you see the atmosphere is filled with air that exerts buoyant force on any object. Hot-air balloons rise into the air because of the buoyant force when the air in its surroundings is greater than the balloon’s weight.

John_Andrew_D_Suarez — 2021-01-17 12:57:50 UTC

One more thing! This principle was also used by researchers within the medical and dentistry field wherein they used the principle in order to determine the volume of the inside spongy part of the bone called the Cancellous Bone. This information can be used in various medical studies such as aging, osteoporosis, and lots of other things.

nsafabia3 — 2021-01-17 12:58:08 UTC

Similarly, it also applies to identifying the densities of fossils and artifacts being acquired by our historians and archaeologists that configures to determine how we as humans as well as the things on earth evolve over time. Thus, with discovering their physical properties using this principle, we get to understand more of our origin and the lives of our ancestors.

sjogonzales — 2021-01-17 12:58:16 UTC

I wonder what the world will look like if this concept was not discovered. What a wonderful discovery!

egsestrellado — 2021-01-17 12:58:23 UTC

I agree! This is definitely a ‘Eureka’ moment!

John_Andrew_D_Suarez — 2021-01-17 12:58:31 UTC

Maligo na kasi kayo guys baka maka-discover din tayo! HAHAHA!

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:58:45 UTC

Yesssss! Then let’s all together say:

jrgtalagtag — 2021-01-17 12:58:55 UTC

Eureka!

nsafabia3 — 2021-01-17 12:59:01 UTC

Eureka!

sjogonzales — 2021-01-17 12:59:12 UTC

Eureka!

egsestrellado — 2021-01-17 12:59:15 UTC

Eureka!

John_Andrew_D_Suarez — 2021-01-17 12:59:16 UTC

Eureka!
