Lambert proposed the first significant?

  • Modern Atlas

  • Heliocentric Model

  • Non-Euclidean Geometry

  • Hydrometer

Answer

The hydrometer, first notably proposed by Johann Heinrich Lambert, serves as a crucial tool for measuring the specific gravity or density of liquids compared to water. It operates based on the principle of buoyancy, where a floating body displaces its weight in the liquid. The depth of immersion of the hydrometer is inversely proportional to the density of the liquid, allowing for accurate measurements.
