Did Isaac Newton discover how to measure volume?
not that I know of, if I'm right, it was Archimedes.
How was density discovered?
Density was discovered by the Greek philosopher Archimedes around 250 BC. He realized that the buoyant force exerted by a fluid on an object could be used to determine the object's volume and, by extension, its density. This led to the development of the concept of density as mass per unit volume.
His principle has to do with buoyancy and displacement?
Archimedes' principle states that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. This principle helps explain why objects float or sink in fluids based on their density.
If Archimedes had only been able to find a piece of pure gold with a mass one-half that of the crown how could he have determined whether the crown was pure gold?
Archimedes came across concept of density - that is MASS divided by VOLUME. For each substance this ratio is different but a CONSTANT for that substance. Thus the mass you are dealing with is irrelevant if the crown had the same ratio as the piece of pure gold then the crown was pure god, if it did not then the crown was not gold.
What has Archimedes contributed to chemistry?
Archimedes was not a chemist.
