What did the king after Archimedes had informed him that goldsmith had cheated him?

Who cheated the king from Archimedes story?

the blacksmith cheated on the king.

What is the story of the Archimedes and the kings gold?

The story of Archimedes and the king's gold revolves around King Hiero II of Syracuse, who suspected that a goldsmith had cheated him by mixing silver with a newly crafted crown. He turned to Archimedes for help in determining the crown's purity without damaging it. Inspired while taking a bath, Archimedes discovered that he could measure the crown's volume by submerging it in water, allowing him to compare its density to that of pure gold. His famous exclamation, "Eureka!" signifies his realization of the principle of buoyancy, which ultimately led him to confirm the crown's adulteration.

What problem did king hiero want Archimedes to solve?

During Archimedes' time in Syracuse, King Hieron, the king of Syracuse and a close friend of Archimedes, commissioned the construction of a beautiful golden crown. When the goldsmith returned the crown, the king suspected him of stealing some of the gold and replacing it in the crown with silver. The king wanted to make sure that he got all of his gold back, so he asked Archimedes to discover the true contents of the crown.

Who consulted Archimedes regarding an object that was made of Gold?

Hiero II, the King of Syracuse, wanted Archimedes to determine if gold had been withheld from a crown by the goldsmith commissioned to make it. Without damaging the crown, Archimedes used water displacement to prove that the gold was not all there.

Archimedes was a great scientist an d engineer of GreeceOnce man asked him to determine the weight of his gold crownAnd the scientist made it possibleDo you know how is it possibleexplain the phen?

If he wanted to know that weight of his crown, then all he had to do was weigh it. There is no secret to that. Actually, the story is that the king had given the goldsmith some gold to make into a new crown, but when the goldsmith was done, the king was suspicious that the goldsmith had kept some of the gold and made a crown that was gold on the outside but was made of something cheap on the inside. He asked Archimedes to tell him if it was really solid gold or if he had been cheated. So what Archimedes did was to set a bucket into a large pan, fill the bucket with water up to the very brim, put crown into the bucket, and then measure the amount of water that spilled over into the pan. Then Archimedes did the same thing again only this time he put the same amount of gold as the king had given the goldsmith. This method worked because items that are more dense displace more water (more water is pushed out of the bucket and into the pan). You might also be interested to know that this story is probably made up, and anyway most of what Archimedes wrote about has been changed and improved on by other scientists since then.

Why did Archimedes decide that the goldsmith that made the kings crown should be excecuted?

During Archimedes' time in Syracuse, King Hieron, the king of Syracuse and a close friend of Archimedes, commissioned the construction of a beautiful golden crown. When the goldsmith returned the crown, the king suspected him of stealing some of the gold and replacing it in the crown with silver. The king wanted to make sure that he got all of his gold back, so he asked Archimedes to discover the true contents of the crown. If Archimedes could determine the crown's true contents, he could tell the king whether or not the goldsmith gave him all of his gold back. Archimedes pondered this problem for some time, and one fateful morning in the baths of Syracuse he found the answer. Archimedes was stepping into the tub when he noticed that this action caused some of the water in the tub to overflow. He suddenly realized that the volume of the water that was being displaced equaled the volume of his body in the tub. He then ran through the streets of Syracuse naked yelling "Eureka," which means "I found it." He believed that he could measure the volumes of all irregular solids by placing them in water and noting the amount of water displaced. He solved the king's problem by placing equal masses of gold and silver in water. The silver had a greater volume because it displaced more water. That meant that the silver was less dense than the gold because it had the same weight but a larger volume. Archimedes then compared the lump of gold to the crown. The two had the same mass, but when Archimedes measured their volumes, the crown had a larger volume. Therefore, the crown was less dense and not made of pure gold. The king thus knew that the goldsmith had replaced some of the gold in the crown with silver, and he had the goldsmith executed.

What was the story about Archimedes and the kings crown?

The king of Sparta decided that he needed a new gold crown, which he could make from some of the booty he had gotten from his victories. The king gave his most reputable goldsmith a small brick of gold that measured 3 x 6 x 8 cm and weighed 2,765 gms, and ordered him to turn it into a new crown. Several weeks later, the goldsmith delivered the crown to the king, who weighed it and found it to be exactly 2,765 gms. The king was delighted, until he had a dream that the goldsmith had taken some of the gold and diluted it with some base metal to make up the difference in weight, and kept the unused gold for himself.The goldsmith had thought of this, but decided to risk his life on the fact that no one could calculate the volume of the crown, and that the king would not melt his crown back into a measurable block so that its density could be calculated. The goldsmith was right: the king didn't want to melt down the crown. Nevertheless, the king wanted assurance that he was not dooped, and gave public notice of a prize to anyone who could determine the volume of his crown.As legend has it, Archimedes was in the baths relaxing and watching the goings-on around him. He noticed that whenever someone got into a tub the water level rose. Suddenly an idea came to him: the concept of the conservation of matter. Total volume = volume A + volume B. He jumped up and ran naked down the street towards the palace shouting "Eureka! Eureka!", which means "I have found it" in ancient Greek. Now the king was not shocked to see this naked man knocking at his palace door because most men in those Spartan days wore little or nothing in that hot and humid climate. So the king invited Archimedes in, and soon the two were bent over a table upon which was a bucket, which was absolutely full to the brim, inside of another empty bucket. As the men slowly lowered the crown into the inner bucket, a little water spilled out into the outer bucket.Finally, the whole crown was submerged, and the inner bucket was carefully lifted out so that no splashing occurred. The water in the inner bucket was found to weigh 169 grams. Then Archimedes, who up to then was a nobody-geek in this city full of athletic warriors, explained to the king that the original block of gold was 144 cubic centimeters in size, which would displace 144 grams of water. Thus the new crown has more volume than the original gold brick, but weighs just the same. The goldsmith must have sliced off a piece of the gold brick and kept it for himself, then added something else to the remaining gold being careful to add enough of the base metal to make up the required original weight.During the ensuing celebrations at which the goldsmith received the brunt of Spartan military prowess, Archimedes was bestowed the honored title of Physicist Royale, and received the promised reward. (Alas, a short while later, rival city-state Athens defeated Sparta. An Athenian soldier broke down Archimedes' office door and told him to put his hands up. But as Archimedes did so he pointed at his desk and told the solder: "Don't disturb my circles." For that indignation, the soldier thrust a spear through Archimedes. (No, Archimedes' screw is something else!)

How Archimedes discovered the density?

Archimedes discovered density by sitting in a bath full of water, and realized the water that spilled out was how much space he took up in the bath. How many liters that spilled out was how many liters Archimedes took up in the world. As legend has it, when he found this out he ran into the street - naked - shouting "Eureka!" which means, in Greek, "I've found it!" He was shouting "Eureka" because the king asked him to find out if his crown was all gold or did the goldsmith take some gold and used silver instead.
