Archimedes Principle

(287-212 BCE)
The Story of
Archimedes Principle
“I know of no way,” was the answer.
But Archimedes was not the man to say that anything was impossible. He took great delight in working out hard
problems, and when any question puzzled him he would keep studying until he found some sort of answer to it. And so,
day after day, he thought about the gold and tried to find
some way by which it could be tested without doing harm to the crown.
One morning he was thinking of this question while he was getting ready for a bath. The tub was full to the very
edge, and as he stepped into it a quantity of water flowed out upon the stone floor. A similar thing had happened a
hundred times before, but this was the first time that Archimedes had thought about it.
“How much water did I displace by getting into the tub?” he asked himself. “Anybody can see that I displaced a
“Now suppose, instead of putting myself into the tub, I had put Hiero’s crown into it, it would have displaced a volume of water equal to its own volume. Ah, let me see! Gold is much denser than silver. Ten pounds of pure gold would not make so great a volume as say seven pounds of gold mixed with three pounds of silver. If Hiero’s crown is pure gold it will
displace the same volume of water as any other ten pounds of pure gold. But if it is part gold and part silver it will displace a larger volume. I have it at last! Eureka! Eureka!
Forgetful of everything else he leaped from the bath.
The crown was tested . It was found to displace much more water than ten pounds of pure gold displaced.
The guilt of the goldsmith was proved beyond a doubt. But whether he was punished or not, I do not know, neither does it matter. The simple discovery which Archimedes made in the his bathtub was worth far more to the world than

The Roman invader, Marcus Marcellus, captured Syracuse. Having heard of Archimedes, he forbade harm to him.
