Question

Archimedes supposedly was asked to determine whether a crown made for the king consisted of pure gold. According to legend, he solved this problem by weighing the crown first in air and then in water as shown. Suppose the scale read 7.84 N when the crown was in air and 6.84 N when it was in water. What should Archimedes have told the king?

F,
F
a
Figure 14.11 (Example 14.5) (a) When the crown is
suspended in air, the scale reads its true weight because
T, = F, (the buoyancy of air is negligible). (b) When the
crown is immersed in water, the buoyant force B changes
the scale reading to a lower value T, = F - B.
