The King demanded the truth from the goldsmith.

These metals took up more space in the water than pure gold.Īrchimedes reported this finding to the King. Therefore, the crown had some other metals mixed in it. So, they should have sent out the same quantity of water. But both the crown and the gold cube were of the same weight. The cube of gold had sent out less water. He found out the difference in the water overflow. Water got collected at the bottomĪrchimedes then measured the quantity of water in the two vessels. He kept this gold cube in the middle of the second bowl. This cube of gold was equal in weight to the crown. It collected at the bottom of the outer vessel. Then he placed each bowl separately in the middle of the large vessels. Using this as the basic knowledge, Archimedes worked out a plan to find out the purity of the crown.Īrchimedes took two bowls. But an aluminums cube of the same weight will displace more water than the iron cube.Īrchimedes knew all these theories. The displaced water will be equal to their volume.įor example, an iron cube weighing a kilogram will disperse some water. Objects, put in water, will displace water. He jumped out of the bathtub, shouting, “Eureka! Eureka!' Eureka in Greek means “I have found it.'ĭifferent metals of the same weight have different volumes. Immediately a large quantity of water flowed over the brim of the bath tub.
