Detailed explanation-1: -Archimedes found that the volume of a sphere is two-thirds the volume of a cylinder that encloses it. He also discovered a law of buoyancy, Archimedes’ principle, that says a body in a fluid is acted on by an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pulleys date back at least to Archimedes (287 BC-212 BC), the great Greek mathematician, physicist, and engineer. He designed a block-and-tackle system to move massive ships. Pulley systems allow us to lift a load by using a force that is less than the weight of the load.
