Was it fake or not? After thinking for several days, Archimedes went to the bathhouse. He got into the bath and saw the water rise . . .Eureka! he shouted and ran down the street. HE realized that when you put something into water that is heavier - more dense - then the displacement of water is equal to the volume of the object.<BR>\n" );
