Then the king sent the crown to Archimedes, the best scientist in the kingdom.Archimedes and the crown4-2Archimedes thought about the problem while a servant poured some water into a bath for him. Archimedes got in the bath and some water came out of it, onto the floor. Archimedes was very excited. ‘That’s it!’ shouted Archimedes to the servant. ‘If we put an object in a pot full of water, some of the water will comeout. The object displaces the water. A bigobject will displace a lot of water. Asmall object will displace only a littlewater.’1234-3123Archimedes went to the palace to weigh the crown. It weighed one kilogram. He put the crown in a pot of water. Five centimetres of water came out. He then put one kilogram of gold in another pot of water. Three centimetres of water came out of this pot. Archimedes said to King Hiero, ‘Silver made the crown bigger. That is why the crown displaced more water. So, the crown is not made entirely of gold; it is made of both gold and silver.’
King Hiero was very angry when he heardthis, and he sent the crown-maker to prison.After you read4-112 Find words to match these meanings in the story on page 14.Athe place where a king lives __________
