In the third century B. C., King Hieron of Syracuse asked the famous mathematician Archimedes to determine if his crown was made of pure gold. This was a puzzling problem for Archimedes-he knew how to measure the weight of the crown, but how could he measure the volume? Archimedes solved the problem when he got into his bath and noticed the water spilling over the sides of the tub. He realized that the volume of the displaced water must be equal to the volume of the object placed into the water. Archimedes was so excited by. his discovery that he jumped out of the bath and ran through the streets shouting "Eureka!" a. How can you tell if a crown is made of solid gold? b. Gold is one of the densest substances known, with a density of 19.3 g/mL. If the gold in the crown was mixed with a less-valuable metal like bronze or copper, how would that affect its density? c. What is the relationship between the object density, the liquid density, and the tendency of the object to float? d. From the experimental results obtained by you in the lab of the density of the liquid and the object, could the object float in that liquid? Explain.
