TBR: Archimedes realized he could determine the volume of the crown by placing it in a comtainer of water and then measuring the amount of water compared to an equal volume of pure gold and pure silver.
Milski and I had a discussion: If I fill a 10L bucket with water and put a 1m^3 bowling ball, 1m^3 iron ball, 1m^3 steel ball, the volume displaced will be 1m^3.
So what the **** is going on here? How can you tell the difference volume displaced of a golden, silver crown if the volumes are the same?
