Legend has it that Archimedes was asked by King Hiero of Syracuse to determine whether a crown was pure gold or had been adulterated with a less valuable metal by an unscrupulous goldsmith. It was this problem that led Archimedes to the principle that bears his name. In a modern version of his method, a crown weighing 8.30 N is suspended underwater from a string.The tension in the string is measured to be 7.81 N. Is the crown pure gold?
