1 answer

Archimedes was not responsible for "the log mover." While he is credited with many inventions and contributions to science and mathematics, including Archimedes' screw and the principle behind the "ship shaker," there is no well-documented invention known as "the log mover" attributed to him. The composition of the king's crown (specifically, determining whether it was pure gold) is also one of his well-known contributions.
