Archimedes discovered the law of hydrostatic displacement.
Supposedly, in trying to determine how to find the density of the ruler's crown, he was perplexed by the problem. He decided one night to take a bath and, while sitting down in the bath water, he noticed that the water level went up.
From this, he realized that the amount of water displaced was equal to the volume of his body immersed in the water.
From mass and volume, density can be determined, and he could differentiate between different metals due to densities.
"Eureka! I have found it!"
The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object submerged in water. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object.
True. According to Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced by an object floating in a fluid (like water) is equal to the volume of the part of the object that is submerged in the fluid.
a submerged object displaces liquid which is equal to its volume
The volume of water an object displaces is equal to the volume of the object itself, as stated by Archimedes' principle. This principle explains that the volume of fluid displaced by an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the volume of the object.
The water overflowed when Archimedes jumped in and he knew that there is a relationship between his weight and the volume of the water
Legend says that Archimedes discovered the principle of displacement while stepping into a full bath. He realized that the water that ran over equaled in volume the submerged part of his body. Through further experiments, he deduced the above mentioned Archimedes' principle.
Archimedes took a bowl full of water of known volume and then dipped the irregular shape body. Amount of water fall down is measured and is the volume of that body.
For finding the volume of an object by immersing into water and noticing that the water displaced was equal to the volume of the object.
Archimedes is credited with discovering how to measure the volume of irregular objects by using water displacement. This method allowed him to determine the volume of an object by measuring the amount of water it displaced when submerged in a container. The famous story goes that he made this discovery while taking a bath, leading to his exclamation "Eureka!" which means "I have found it" in Greek.
When a body or object is immersed in water that its volume is equal to the water displaced.
Greek scholar Archimedes
I think it is the volume displacement. When you put an object into a container with a known volume of water, the water will rise, and that change of volume is the volume of the object you introduced into the container.
Archimedes discovered volume displacement when he was in the bath tub because the weight of an object makes the water rise.But the volume of the water was constant.He then ran outside on the streets screaming,EUREKA!...naked
When an object is immersed in water the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of that object as discovered by Archimedes.
Archimedes, a Greek mathematician, physicist, and engineer, is known for discovering principles of buoyancy and developing methods for calculating the volume of irregular shapes. He is also credited with inventing machines such as the screw pump and the compound pulley system.
