Why did Archimedes said eureka when he discovered his principle?
Ihtishaam
In physics, buoyancy is the upward force on an object produced by the surrounding fluid (i.e., a liquid or a gas) in which the object is fully or partially immersed, due to the pressure difference of the fluid between the top and bottom of the object. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body. This force enables the object to float or at least to seem lighter. Buoyancy is important for many vehicles such as boats, ships, balloons, and airships.
Archimedes was given the task by the king to find out if his gold crown was made of only gold or some other cheap metals were mixed to it. Archimedes was continuosly thinking of the way to find it and while he was taking bath in a bath tub, he found that some water was spilled when he entered it.(he could then give the Archimedes principle after cetain experiments on buoancy). well he cried out eureka at that particular moment which in greek means "i have found it".

Who is Archimedes and what was his invention?
Archimedes did many things, such as: developed ideas that proved essential to the formation of calculus, found a very accurate value for pi, solved the problem of buoyancy, established the law of the lever, defined the spiral, used the method of exhaustion to calculate the area of the arc of a parabola, found an ingenious system for expressing large numbers, came up with the fulcrum, and devised a method of displacement volumes. Archimedes got the reputation of saying outlandish things. However, after he staged a performance for the king and his court where he pulled a trireme up onto the beach all by himself using a system of pulleys, a law was then passed that anything Archimedes said was to be considered true. When the Romans were conquering Sicily they put together a special troop who's task was to capture Archimedes alive. Alas he was killed by a soldier from another troop who didn't know who the old man was. Archimedes' last words were 'Don't disturb my circles.'

He was quoting the exclamation attributed to Archimedes, who is said to have cried out "Eureka! eureka!" (I have found it! I have found it!), Eureka is Greek for "I have found it". Archimedes said it when he discovered how to use water displacement to test the purity of gold.

Why is an Eureka can called an Eureka can?
a eureka can is called eureka because many years ago Archimedes was in the bath and he found that when he got in the water rose this is because he took up space in the tub he then said eureka that is why.

Im sorry, what? The scientist that coined the term eureka? It is said that Archimedes did, but he said it slightly differently, along the lines of "I have done it, finally!" in Greek.

Who was the first person to say eureka?
Archimedes, after discovering the principle of density. Most commonly associated with him having a bath, seeing the water flow out as he got in, then running round the town naked! This may be more legend than documented fact.AnswerThe above is true... Check it out: "Eureka" is Greek for "I found it!"A bit more...It would be more accurate to say Eureka means "I am in a state of having found it" but you get the idea He actually said the Greek words to vrika which means I found it but as the years have gone by and through many people saying it the two words became one resulting in eureka
Why did Archimedes invent area and perimeter?
Presumably from an enquiring mind, more than anything else. Whether he can be said to have "invented" or "discovered" them, is another matter.
