    Eureka! Eureka!
    The story behind this event was that Archimedes was charged with proving that a new crown made for Hieron, the king of Syracuse, was not pure gold as the goldsmith had claimed. Soon after, he filled a bathtub and noticed that water spilled over the edge as he got in and he realized that the water displaced by his body was equal to the weight of his body. Archimedes got out of the bathtub naked and started shouting p, “Eureka! Eureka!”
