Who shouted eureka?

Archimedes shouted eureka ! eureka !


Archimedes exclaimed this word meaning you found it?

The story goes Archamedes , when he discovered the weight of the crown, ran on the streets of Athens naked shouting EUREKA EUREKA. meaning I have found it.


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.


Who thought of water displacement and yelled eureka?

It was Archimedes, the Greek mathematician, who discovered what is known as 'Archimedes Principal', that states that 'an object submerged in a liquid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.' This principle illustrates that the reason an object floats or sinks depends on the amount of water that it displaces. That is why a huge ship can float even though it is heavy, as it's shape is such that it displaces a huge amount of water. Archimedes discovered this principle when he was in the bath, and is reported to have been so excited by the insight, that he forgot to dress, and ran onto the street exclaiming, 'Eureka', meaning in Greek, 'I have found it'.


Why did Archimedes said eureka when he discovered his principle?

Eureka!According to legend, Greek mathematician and engineer Archimedes shouted "Eureka" (Greek: "I have found it") when he discovered a way to calculate the volume of an irregular solid by submerging it in water and measuring the volume of water it displaced. This led to further discoveries involving density and buoyancy. 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".
