Correct option is A
Correct Answer:(A) Galileo Galilei
- Galileo Galilei is credited with describing Archimedes' method of finding the specific gravity of substances using a balance in his treatise titled "The Little Balance".
- In this work, Galileo explains how to use a balance to measure the buoyancy of substances, which is directly related to determining their specific gravity.
- This method involves comparing the weight of an object in air with its weight when submerged in water, a technique first developed by Archimedes.
- Michael Faraday: Michael Faraday was a pioneering scientist known for his work in electromagnetism and electrochemistry, not for describing Archimedes' method.
- Daniel Bernoulli: Daniel Bernoulli was known for his contributions to fluid mechanics and the Bernoulli principle, not for the study of specific gravity or Archimedes' method.
- Albert Einstein: Albert Einstein is best known for his theories of relativity and contributions to physics, but not for the specific study of Archimedes' method.
