Problem No. 11 to 15
Archimedes is probably most remembered for an event that claims he ran naked through the
streets yelling “Eureka!” after discovering the principle that bears his name. The story goes that
while soaking in a bathtub and trying to solve the problem of how to tell if a gold crown had been
adulterated with less valuable metals such as copper on silver, he noticed that a body wholly or
partially immersed in a fluid appears to weigh less.
This apparent loss of weight equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the body and can be
thought of as an upward buoyant force, FB, supplied by the fluid. If the body is completely
submerged, the volume of water displaced equals the volume of body.
Essentially, Archimedes was trying to find a technique that would allow him to determine the
density of an irregularly shaped object. Density, , and weight w, are related through the acceleration
due to gravity, g:
