ARCHIMEDES EXPERIMENT

First,the crown is weighed. Then, a lump of gold and of silveris took each weighing the same as the crown. The silver lump is larger because silver is lighter than gold.
Each lump is put in a vessel. The vessels are filled to the rim with water. The larger amount of silver caused more water to overflow than the lump of gold did, although both weighed the same. Archimedes knew then that any solid material will push away an amount of water equal to its own bulkiness, or volume. If the crown are pured gold, it would have to push away, or displace the same amount of water as the lump of pure gold that weighed the same. But the crown is made more water overflow than the lump of gold.
