- Syracuse, Sicily
- Archimedes! I want you to take charge in finishing the sailing vessel that I will give as a gift to Egypt. The vessel named Syracusia has a size the same of a palace.
- Is he being serious right now?
- How on earth are we going to make a vessel as large as a palace float on water?! With so many things loaded in it, one thing kept lurking in his mind.
- Will the vessel sink?
- Still confused, he decided to go home thinking how he can pull off that project.
- One day, after receiving another order from King Hieron about finding out whether the crown is really made of gold, he decided to take a bath first.
- My body displaces with water...
- Aha! An object partially submerged in water is supported by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced when the object was submerged.
- At this moment, while trying the simple experiment on the crown, Archimedes figured out how to prevent the Syracusia from sinking and started developing the Law of Buoyancy.
- Eureka! Eureka! Eureka!
- Brilliant! Now, please put some pants on..
- Submerge the crown in water, if the displaced amount of water is different, it's not pure gold.
- A piece of gold with the same weight submerged in water gives us how much water was displaced.
- After a lot of hard work and thinking, Archimedes was not only able to find out if the crown was made of real gold, but have also successfully lead the Syracusia to its first and last voyage without sinking.
