Question
It is said that Archimedes discovered his principle during a bath while thinking about how he could determine if King Hiero's crown was actually made of pure gold. While in the bathtub, he conceived the idea that he could determine the average density of an irregularly shaped object by weighing it in air and also in water. If the crown weighed 34.2 N in air and 31.3 N in water, determine if the crown is made of pure gold. The density of gold is 19,300 kg/m³. The density of water is 1000 kg/m³. The average density of the crown is The crown was not made of pure gold ✓ kg/m³
