DescriptionSimon Stevin-Waterwicht.jpg |
Nederlands: Standbeeld van Simon Stevin door Louis Eugène Simonis op het Simon Stevinplein te Brugge -- detail. Het standbeeld werd onthuld in 1847.
Simon Stevin (Brugge, 1548 – Den Haag of Leiden, 1620) was een Vlaams toegepast wiskundige, natuurkundige en ingenieur. In 1581 week hij uit naar Leiden. Rond 1590 werd hij adviseur van Prins Maurits. Het detail toont proeven van Stevin in verband met de wet op het hydrostatisch evenwicht. Stevin berekende de hydrostatische kracht op verticale wanden en formuleerde als eerste de hydrostatische paradox, dus vóór Blaise Pascal.English: Statue of Simon Stevin by Louis Eugène Simonis at the Simon Stevinplein in Bruges -- detail. The statue was erected in 1847.
Simon Stevin (1548/49 – 1620) was a Flemish mathematician and engineer. He was active in a great many areas of science and engineering, both theoretical and practical. He emigrated to Holland in 1581 and became tutor to Prince Maurice at about 1590. The detail shows experiments on hydrostatic equilibrium. Stevin discovered the hydrostatic paradox -- long before Pascal--, which states that the downward pressure of a liquid is independent of the shape of the vessel, and depends only on its height and base.Français : Statue de Simon Stevin au Simon Stevinplein à Bruges, detail.
Simon Stevin (1548/49 - 1620) fut un ingénieur et un mathématicien flamand (Belgique). Il émigrait à Hollande en 1581. Ses travaux lui attirent la faveur du prince Maurice de Nassau, qui le consultera désormais souvent. Le détail montre des expériments sur l'equilibre hydrostatique. Stevin découvrit, bien avant Pascal, le paradoxe hydrostatique : la pression d’un liquide sur le fond d'un récipient est indépendante de sa forme, et aussi de la surface du fond ; elle dépend seulement de la hauteur d'eau dans le récipient. Il donna aussi la mesure de la pression sur n'importe quelle portion du côté d’un récipient. |
