What did Archimedes do to discover buoyancy?

Legend says that Archimedes discovered the principle of displacement while stepping into a full bath. He realized that the water that ran over equaled in volume the submerged part of his body. Through further experiments, he deduced the above mentioned Archimedes' principle.


How Archimedes discovered the density?

Archimedes discovered density by sitting in a bath full of water, and realized the water that spilled out was how much space he took up in the bath. How many liters that spilled out was how many liters Archimedes took up in the world. As legend has it, when he found this out he ran into the street - naked - shouting "Eureka!" which means, in Greek, "I've found it!" He was shouting "Eureka" because the king asked him to find out if his crown was all gold or did the goldsmith take some gold and used silver instead.


What did Archimedes find out about floating sinking and density?

Once upon a time a really fat dude was taking a bath and in the bath he realized how light he was in water. So he thought he was some genius and ran around the streets naked saying "I found it!" but in greek. So then everyone went crazy and thought a bath tub was some new type of weight loss program, but they got fat again when they got out, they got mad and killed Archimedes. No one ever used the bath tub as a weight loss program again, because people were scared to run around the town like some idiotic nudists. The end.
