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 crown and separate out the gold.
-
C He could submerge the crown in water, measure the volume of displaced water, weigh the crown, and calculate its density.
-
D He could submerge the crown in water and see if it floated. E He could compare the mass of the crown to the mass of the gold that had been provided.

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...
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...

Archimedes supposedly was asked to determine whether a crown made for the king consisted of pure gold. Legend has it that he solved this problem by weighing the crown first in air and then in water, as shown in Figure below. Suppose the scale read 7.84 N in air and 6.86 N in water. What should Archimedes have told the king? scale scale (Fr=-mg FB W=mg (b) mg (a) ITIIIIIIII

mass of One way of restating Archimedes' Principle is that the mass of a block that is floating in a fuid is equal to the the fluid displaced by the block. Imagine that we have a solid block in which all of the sides are 1 cm long-a cube with a volume of 1 cm (Fig.A1.4.2A). We set it in a beaker of pure water and find that, when the block and water come to rest, 70% of the block...

Purpose: To calculate the apparent weight of a mass when immersed in water. Students will also have the opportunity to learn how to use calipers to accurately measure lenghs. Background: Archimedes discovered that he could find the density of an object by comparing it's weight o its apparent weight when immersed in water (see example 10-8 in he textbook). When mmersed, the buoyancy due to the...

he Dilemma The story of Phar-Mor shows how quickly a company that built its earnings on fraudulent transactions can dissolve like an Alka-Seltzer. One day, Stan Cherelstein, the controller of Phar-Mor, discovered cabinets stuffed with held checks totaling $10 million. Phar-Mor couldn’t release the checks to vendors because it did not have enough cash in the bank to cover the amount. Cherelstein wondered what he should do. Background Phar-Mor was a chain of discount drugstores, based in Youngstown, Ohio, and...
