Archimedes Strength

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the factors that determine the strength of Archimedes, specifically in relation to the force acting on submerged objects as described by Archimedes' principle. The principle explains that the buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This force is influenced by the density of the fluid and the volume of the object submerged. The conversation also includes a lighthearted comment about the time it takes Archimedes to exit his bath, adding a humorous touch to the technical topic. Overall, the focus remains on the scientific explanation of buoyancy and the principles governing submerged objects.

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
