    Dear Seena and sunikris,
    Thanks for your encouragement and support.
    I give a set of inventions and discoveries.

    Who gave the famous Mass Energy relationship.
    The relationship is E = mc<SUP>2</SUP>:
    (equivalence of mass and energy)
    It was given by Albert Einstein, <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:smarttags" /><st1:country-region><st1:place>Switzerland</st1:place></st1:country-region>, 1907


    Who discovered Safety pin.
    Safety pin:
    Walter Hunt, <st1:country-region><st1:place>U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region>, 1849.


    Who invented the medicine aspirin and give a short note abt it.
    aspirin, acetyl derivative of salicylic acid that is used to lower fever, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and thin the blood.
    Acetylsalicylic acid was first prepared by the German chemist Felix Hoffmann, an employee of Friedrich Bayer & Co., in 1897. It is now the active ingredient in more than 50 over-the-counter preparations; estimates put American consumption at 80 billion tablets annually.


    Name the device used to determine the specific gravity of a liquid
    Hydrometer is used to determine directly the specific gravity of a liquid. It usually consists of a thin glass tube closed at both ends, with one end enlarged into a bulb that contains fine lead shot or mercury to cause the instrument to float upright in a liquid whose specific gravity is being measured

    The hydrometer is based on Archimedes' principle.




    Who discovered Microwave oven:
    Percy Spencer, <st1:country-region><st1:place>U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region>, 1947
    A device that uses microwaves to rapidly cook food. The microwaves cause water molecules in the food to vibrate, producing heat, which is distributed through the food by induction. A special electron tube called a magnetron produces the microwaves.
