Question

Archimedes was asked by his king to figure out a way of telling if people were giving him fake gold objects. That was when Archimedes discovered his famous principle: an object placed in water displaces the same volume of water as the object’s volume. Explain how Archimedes used this to solve his problem.

Answer:   The Archimedes Principle   Step-by-step explanation: He took the 5 kg crown and dipped it in a vessel full of water. He calculated the displaced water.    Then he took 5 kg pure gold bricks and dipped it in a vessel full of water. He then calculated the displaced water and he found that the vessel with pure gold bricks displaced more water than the vessel with the crown. This is the Archimedes principle which states that the body at rest in a fluid is acted upon by a force pushing upward called the buoyant force, which is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.    Hope it helps you:))))    Have a good day

Use the theorem in Sec. 77, involving a single residue, to evaluate the integral of f (z) around the positively oriented circle |z

Use the fact that the trigonometric functions are periodic to find the exact value of the given expression. Do not use a calculato
