Q 14.17: The story of Archimedes is that he was asked to determine if a crown made for the king contained all the gold it was supposed to contain, or if some less dense (and less expensive) silver had been substituted. How could he do this?
A He could submerge the crown in water, measure the volume of displaced water, and see if the volume corresponded to the volume of gold that had been provided.
B He could melt the...
apparent weight, actual weight
According to legend, the following challenge led Archimedes to the discovery of his famous principle: Hieron, king of Syracuse, was suspicious that a new crownthat he had received from the royal goldsmith was not pure gold, as claimed. Archimedes was ordered to determine whether the crown was in fact made of pure gold, with the condition that only a nondestructive test would be allowed. Rather than answer the problem in the politically most expedient way (or perhaps extract a bribe...

Bonus-1 point) According to Vitruvius, a new crown in the shape of a laurel wreath had been made for King Hiero lII, and Archimedes was asked to determine whether it was of solid gold, or whether silver had been added by a dishonest goldsmith. Archimedes had to solve the problem without damaging the crown, so he could not melt it down. While taking a bath, he noticed that the level of the water rose as he got in. He realized...

LEARN MORE REMARKS Because the density of gold Is 1.93 x 104 kg/m", the crown is elther hollow, made of an alloy, or both. Despite the mathematical complexity, it is certainly conceivable that this was the method that occurred to Archimedes. Conceptually, it's a matter of realizing (or guessing) that equal weights of gold and a silver-gold alloy would have different scale readings when immersed in water because their densities and hence their volumes are different, leading to differing buoyant...
