Rangarira ndima iri pasi apa uye ipapo pindura mubvunzo gare gare mumutauro mumwe chetewo sechikamu:  Mashoko anokosha: Kunyange zvazvo Archimedes asina kugadzira lever, akatsanangura nheyo yacho mubasa rake rinonzi On the Equilibrium of Planes. Tsananguro dzapakuvamba dzechinhu chinoshandiswa pakuita basa racho dzinowanikwa muchikoro chePeripatetic chevateveri vaAristotle, uye dzimwe nguva dzinonzi dzakabva kuna Archytas. Maererano naPappus wokuAlexandria, basa raArchimedes rokugadzira zvimiti zvakaita kuti ataure kuti: "Ndipei nzvimbo yokumira, uye ndichaita kuti pasi rifambe". (Greek: δῶς μοι π<unk> στῶ καὶ τὰν γ<unk>ν κινάσω) Plutarch anorondedzera kuti Archimedes akagadzira sei mabhuroko-uye-kubata mapulley masisitimu, achibvumira vafambisi vengarava kuti vashandise musimboti wekusimudza kusimudza zvinhu izvo zvingadai zvakave zvakanyanya kurema kufamba. Archimedes akazivikanwawo nokuvandudza simba uye kunyatsoita kweketaputa, uye nokugadzira odometer munguva yeHondo yePunic Yokutanga. Odometer yairondedzerwa sengoro ine giya rinodonhedza bhora mumudziyo mushure memakiromita ose akafamba. Cicero (106<unk>43 BC) anotaura Archimedes muchidimbu muhurukuro yake De re publica, iyo inoratidza hurukuro yekufungidzira inoitika muna 129 BC. Pashure pokutora Sirakuse c. Muna 212 B.C.E., mukuru mukuru Marcus Claudius Marcellus anonzi akadzokera kuRoma aine michina miviri, yakavakwa naArchimedes uye yaishandiswa pakuongorora nyeredzi, yairatidza kufamba kweZuva, Mwedzi uye mapuraneti mashanu. Cicero anotaura nezvezvinhu zvakafanana zvakagadzirwa naThales wokuMiletus naEudoxus wokuCnidus. Hurukuro yacho inotaura kuti Marcellus akachengeta chimwe chezvinhu zvacho sechipiriso chake bedzi chomunhu oga kubva kuSyracuse, uye akapa chimwe chacho kuTembere yeUtsvene muRoma. Maitiro aMarcellus akaratidzwa, maererano naCicero, naGaius Sulpicius Gallus kuna Lucius Furius Philus, uyo akaatsanangura seizvi:  Mubvunzo: Ndiani Akaratidza Nzira yaMarcel?
