The center of heritage revival organizes seminar entitled (Machines for treating weights with small force in the history of science among the Arabs)
Under the supervision of prof. Dr. Alaa Nafea Jasim (the director of the center ),the center of heritage revival organizes seminar entitled (Machines for treating weights with small force in the history of science among the Arabs) where sited on the hall of the center (Nabila A. Almunam) on Monday 13th of May 2024 with presence by professors and researchers ., the lecture is presented by prof. dr. Reyadh Saied Lateef (one of the center’s professors) who talked that Weight pulling machines are of great importance due to their obvious influence on the development of science and technology. Ancient Arab scientists and engineers used these machines widely in various fields such as mechanical engineering and physics.
In the field of mechanical engineering, weight-pulling machines contributed to developing Arab scholars’ understanding of important concepts such as cranes. The scientists studied the effect of forces, movement, and balance on ancient Arab machines for pulling weights, and presented modern mechanical principles and foundations that govern the design and construction of machines.In the field of physics, Arab scientists used machines to pull weights as a means of exploring and understanding the laws of motion and forces. They conducted experiments to measure the force, time, and distance required to pull weights, and used this data to develop theories in the field of dynamics and principles of movement.In short, weight-pulling machines are an important element in the Arab scientific heritage. Contributed to the development of mechanical engineering and physics. These machines were used in experiments, research, and practical applications, and contributed to the greater transfer of scientific knowledge and techniques to the Western world and their contribution to the advancement of science and technology in general.
