What is the average density of the crown?
15009
What would happen if you tried to find the density of an object with a density less than water?
If an object was less denser than water it would float
If Archimedes had only been able to find a piece of pure gold with a mass one - half that of the crown how could he have determined whether the crown was pure gold?
Archimedes came across concept of density - that is MASS divided by VOLUME. For each substance this ratio is different but a CONSTANT for that substance. Thus the mass you are dealing with is irrelevant if the crown had the same ratio as the piece of pure gold then the crown was pure god, if it did not then the crown was not gold.
What is the density of a hurricane?
Unless you can find both the mass and density of something you cannot find the density.
When do you stumble across the answer to a problem?
Solutions to problems can 'hit' you at any time. Take Archimedes for example. He was asked to determine whether a crown that had been made for King Hiero II, was as pure as the gold that had been supplied to make it, or if some silver had been substitued. The only problem Archimedes had - was that he was not allowed to damaging the crown. While taking a bath, he niticed the water level changed as got in and out - and realized that this level change could be used to find the volume of the crown. The submerged crown will displace the same amount of water as its own volume. Dividing the mass of the crown by the volume of displaced water, gives the density of the crown. The density would be lower if cheaper metal were added. Archimedes was so xcited by his discovery, he apprently leapt from his bath, and ran naked through the streets to the palace, crying 'Eureka !' (Greek for 'I have found it'). The same test was conducted on the crown - successfully proving that silver had been mixed in with the gold.
How was density used to detect fraud?
Archimedes was told by the king to find out if his crown was made of pure gold, calculating the density of the crown, Archimedes found it to be a mix of gold and silver.
How do you determine whether or not the crown was pure gold or not?
you weigh its density and compare it with the density of gold, if both densities are same, then the crown is made of pure gold. if the density of the crown is lower than the density of gold, then the crown is made of materials that are cheaper or have a density that is less than gold, meaning that it is not made of pure gold.
If Archimedes had only been able to find a piece of pure gold with a mass one-half that of the crown how could he have determined whether the crown was pure gold?
Archimedes came across concept of density - that is MASS divided by VOLUME. For each substance this ratio is different but a CONSTANT for that substance. Thus the mass you are dealing with is irrelevant if the crown had the same ratio as the piece of pure gold then the crown was pure god, if it did not then the crown was not gold.

If gold in the crown was mixed with a less-valuable metal like bronze or copper how would that affect its density?
It would lower it.
How would you find the density if you know the mass and volume?
Density = Mass/Volume
Why couldn't Archimedes work out the volume of the crown by measuring it with a ruler?
different objects have a different density so since gold is more dense than silver the crown made of pure gold would be heavier than the silver crown.
How could you determine the density of a king's crown?
water displacement
How do you convert 47grams into ml?
Grams is a measure of mass and milliliters is a measure of volume. The way they are related is through the equation: density= mass/ volume. Therefore you would need to find the density of the substance in order to convert the units. If you find the density then you would multiply the density and 47 grams to find the volume.
What maker's mark has a crown only?
I too would like to know. I have a plate with just a crown stamp on the back. I have no idea who the maker is and would love to find out.
How would you find the density of strontium sulfide?
The density of strontium sulfide (SrS) is 3,7 g/cm3.
How do you find the density if the mass is 44.9g and the volume is 5?
Divide the mass by the volume and you get density. the answer would be 8.98.
