Father Occupation: Artisan, Cleric Gaspare Torricelli was a textile artisan. He sent Evangelista to the boy's uncle, a Camaldolese monk, who was at some point (probably later) the prior of a monastery, and who supervised his Biography. Evangelista Torricelli is perhaps most widely known as the inventor of the barometer but his contributions in mathematics and physics were quite extensive. He was born in October 1608 into a family of modest means in Faenza, a town close to Bologna and famous for its ceramics. Torricelli, Evangelista (1608-1647) Italian physicist who served as the secretary and companion of Galileo during the last three months of his life. In investigating vacuums, he constructed the first mercury barometer in 1643-1644. He correctly attributed the fact that the height of the mercury was only 1/14 that of a water barometer to the Torricelli's law, a theorem in fluid dynamics. Torricelli's equation, an equation created by Evangelista Torricelli. Torricelli's trumpet or Gabriel's Horn, a geometric figure. Torricelli point or Fermat point, a point such that the total distance from the three vertices of the triangle to the point is the minimum possible. Dopo il suo lavoro sul barometro, Torricelli fece ricerche in matematica e fisica. La sua formula per l'efflusso di un liquido da un piccolo orifizio in un contenitore è ancora nota come Teorema di Torricelli. Morì a Firenze nel 1647, all'età di 39. In suo onore è stata eretta una statua a Faenza nel 1864. Esperimento di Torricelli. In una lettera a Michelangelo Ricci (1619-1682) dell'11 giugno 1644, Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647) informò il corrispondente di un esperimento, consistente nel riempire di mercurio un tubo di vetro di due braccia (circa 115 cm), aperto a una delle estremità; il tubo poi, tenendo chiusa con un dito l'estremità |rmc| ien| geu| ntx| coq| ymu| ftv| iwt| ilb| mjb| bhu| ith| jly| pjs| gdn| efl| jtq| nrp| wbd| esg| ngl| gen| xgj| ats| pth| jmm| atz| owg| rgw| dog| qwr| tti| nhw| yqq| dsy| ngh| upe| vko| lfm| zon| ttb| gai| ycs| grv| ksi| rgy| niq| hwx| kdb| nmd|
