Why did Archimedes invent the golden crown?

Archimedes thought that if the gold crown and the gold bar had the same mass and volume, the crown was pure gold and if they didn't, the crown was a fake and the jeweller was a fraud. (I just had to do this for homework. I'm right!)


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 did Archimedes found the purity of crown?

Archimedes when went into his bath tub to bathe at that time he observed water flowing out of bath tub. He observed that the water displaced should be equal to the mass of his body or volume of his body.similarly somehow knew the density of gold and found out the volume of gold needed to make crown of that much weight hence he got the mass of gold crown. Now he got mass of gold crown and this mass needed to be equal to the water displaced when crown put in water. If the crown was pure then the masses would be equal AND IF NOT then the mass of crown found by Archimedes would be drastically more or drastically less because the person who made the crown would have used another metal.


Did the great plains have gold?

No. The Great Plains had was devoid of many minerals. Why did people think there was? Because the Spanish found gold in the Mesas and Jungles, and fake explorers "found" gold in the Plains. So people went looking for gold and found none.

How can to tell if gold if fake?

Put it in warm water, after a while, if its colour disappears it's fake, if not it's real. This is because gold does not react with water. but golden coating reacts with water. You could always use the same method that Archimedes used. He measured the displacement of the water when the crown was submerged as well as the weight to determine the density of the crown. He then compared the crown's density to a pure gold reference density. If the densities matched, then they were both of the same purity of gold. Note: Gold's density is 19.3 g/cm**3 edit: Density can be measured (as mentioned above). Melting temperature is also a good indicator of purity (if you're willing to part with the gold's form).
