The word Eureka was attributed to the Greek philosopher Archimedes, when he finally discovered the real density of gold. His principle was that the volume of water that was displaced is equivalent to the volume of the body that has been dispersed. He discovered the formula when he was inside his bath tub.

Why according to legend did Archimedes run through town shouting eureka?

According to legend, Archimedes ran through town shouting "Eureka!" after discovering the principle of buoyancy while taking a bath. He realized that the volume of water displaced was equal to the volume of his body submerged, which helped him determine whether a crown was made of pure gold. His excitement over this breakthrough led him to rush out, forgetting to dress, as he celebrated his newfound understanding of physics.

Who ran down the street shouting eureka and why?

Archimedes - he was a Greek mathematician and inventor from Syracuse in the third century BCE. Legend says that he was asked by a king to figure out a way to ensure that his crown was all real gold. As he was in his bath he realised that when something is floating in water it displaces water equal to the weight of the object, ad when something sinks in water it displaces water equal to its volume. He was so excited, the legend says, that he jumped out of the bath and ran to tell the king, shouting "Eureka" - which is Greek for "I've found it" (meaning "I had found the answer to the king's question"). no this isn't true ran did. ran ran down the street
