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?

Find the terminal velocity of a spherical bacterium (diameter 2.00 pm) falling in water. You will first need to note that the drag force is equal to the weight at terminal velocity. Take the density of the bacterium to be 1.10103 kg/m3.
Find the terminal velocity (in m/s) of a spherical bacterium (diameter 1.89 µm) falling in water. You will first need to note that the drag force is equal to the weight at terminal velocity. Take the density of the bacterium to be 1.10 ✕ 103 kg/m3. (Assume the viscosity of water is 1.002 ✕ 10−3 kg/(m · s).)
Legend has it that Archimedes was asked by King Hiero of Syracuse to determine whether a crown was of pure gold or had been adulterated with a lesser metal by an unscrupulous goldsmith. It was this problem that led him 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? (The density of pure gold is 19,300 kg/m3.)
