Hi,
I was wondering this too as I'm reading Small Gods by Terry Pratchet and this is the second time he's referenced Archimedes.
Refer site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes
The Golden Crown
Archimedes then took to the streets naked, so excited by his discovery that he had forgotten to dress, crying "Eureka!"Interestingly, the reference may be a fabrication.
The story of the golden crown does not appear in the known works of Archimedes. Moreover, the practicality of the method it describes has been called into question, due to the prohibitive amount of accuracy required in measuring the water displacement.[16] Archimedes may have instead sought a solution that applied the principle known in hydrostatics as Archimedes' Principle...Next time you may find it a lot quicker to just Google, search "scientist bathtub" (for example) and use wikipedia to learn more. Here's a cool one you could have a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theia_(planet)#Theia

Water of hydration related to measurement?
how is water hydration related to measurement
How do you preform water displacement?
1) Measure the height of water in a beaker or a bowl. (First Measurement) 2) Place the object in the water. 3) Measure the height of the water while the object is still in the water. (Second Measurement) 4) Subtract your first measurement from your second measurement.
Does sitting in hot water help you to lose weight?
No, sitting in hot water does not help you to lose weight?
A scientist immerses an irregularly shaped object into a beaker of water and notes how far the water rises.What property of the object is the scientist measuring?
The amount the water rises is dependent of the volume of water displaced by the object - thus it can be used to measure the volume of the immersed object. If the object did not immerse completely - if it floated - the displaced fluid could instead be used to calculate the relative density of the object - when combined with the total volume.
