Simple enough; as it's practically impossible to measure the outside dimensions of an object that complex to calculate it, you need to find out how much fluid it displaces.

Fill a calibrated beaker or bowl (one that has measurement lines along the side) big enough to hold your object, in this case a crown. Make a note of the original volume of fluid.

Submerge the crown in the fluid and note what the new volume, then subtract the original volume from the new volume and that's your answer.

Make sure there aren't any bubbles clinging to your crown or it'll throw off your measurements.

How would you find the density of a crown?

You would find the density of a crown by dividing the crown's mass by its volume. The formula for density is density = mass/volume. Weigh the crown to find its mass and then measure its volume by displacement in a known liquid.


How archimdes might have measured the volume of the crown?

Archimedes likely measured the volume of the crown by placing it in a container of water and measuring the water level before and after submerging the crown. By comparing the water displacement, he could determine the volume of the crown. This method utilizes the principle that the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object.


Is the crown a regular polygon?

no its not but if you need to measure the volume of it you drop it in water and measure the amount of water displaced

How does the acrchimedes crown story relate to matter?

The Archimedes story relates that Archimedes had been trying to determine if the King's crown was pure gold, without having to melt it down (destroying it) to see. Archimedes sat down in the tub and noted that the water rose in the tub, and that he realized that the volume of water displaced was equal to the volume of Archimedes himself. This gave him an insight into how to determine the volume of the crown; by submerging the crown in water and measuring how far the water rose, this would give him the volume of the crown. He could then weigh the crown and calculate the density of the crown, and determine that the crown was not pure gold.
