Archimedes and the Golden Crownby Rohini Chowdhury For almost a hundred years, the ancient Greek city of Syracuse had been at war with Carthage, and riven by internal strife as successive rulers fought each other for the throne. Till, in 275 BCE, the Syracusan troops, tired of the inefficiencies of their leaders, elected commanders from amongst themselves. One of these was a young general called Hiero.Now, Hiero had a natural flair and talent for leadership and politics. He managed, through his connections, to enter the city and take over its government, but so smoothly and efficiently, that the citizens of Syracuse, who usually did not approve of soldiers choosing their own commanders, did so in this case. Then, after a great battle in 265 BCE, in which Hiero led the Syracusans to victory against their enemies, the people of Syracuse chose Hiero to be their king.Hiero was grateful to the gods for his success and good fortune, and to show his gratitude, he decided to place in a certain temple, a golden crown in their honour. The crown was to be shaped like a laurel wreath. Hiero weighed out a precise amount of gold, and appointing a goldsmith, commanded him to fashion out of the gold a wreath worthy of the gods. The goldsmith did as he had been ordered, and on he appointed day, he delivered to the king an exquisitely wrought crown, shaped, as the king had ordered, like a laurel wreath. The wreath seemed to weight exactly as much as the gold that the king had given the goldsmith. Hiero was pleased, and paid the goldsmith handsomely. The goldsmith, receiving his payment, went away.Hiero made preparations for the ceremony to place the wreath in the temple that he had chosen. But a few days before the ceremony, he heard rumours that the goldsmith had cheated him, and given him a crown not of pure gold, but of gold that had silver mixed in it. The goldsmith, said the rumours, had replaced some of the gold that Hiero had given him, with an equal weight of silver.Hiero was furious to learn that he might have been tricked. But he was a fair-minded man and wished to determine the truth before he punished the goldsmith.If the goldsmith had indeed cheated him and mixed silver into the gold, then the goldsmith would have to be punished, and the crown could

On macOS, the dialogue window should appear the next time Nuke is launched:Please fill out the Feedback field with as much information as possible regarding what you were doing at the time of the crash. Then, please fill the Name and Email fields with your information, as this will help us locate crash reports specific to you.Crash reports only provide certain information, such as the call stack, so it is useful to have context for the actions taken prior to the crash.Once you click "Send Report", the crash report information is uploaded to our server and you should see the successful upload message at the bottom of the window:NOTE: The size limit for crash report uploads is 100 MB, so crash reports larger than that won't be uploaded successfully when pressing the "Send Report" button. In that case, please use the "Save Report..." option, then compress/zip the resulting file and send it to us by raising a Support ticket.IMPORTANT:Crash reports uploaded with the "Send Report" option do not go to Support. They are sent directly to our developers for analysis, to help find common patterns in crashes. As such, you will not receive any responses or be contacted after submitting a crash report.Please note that in most cases a crash report can not offer enough information to identify the exact cause of the crash.If you are experiencing a crash consistently, then we recommend you contact Support for further investigation and to ensure a bug is logged in our system.For this, you will need to raise a Support ticket and provide us with the crash report reference ID number (for the above example ID: 7f6c871f-ebd7-41d9-a844-fa11b8077f38 ) together with an example project reproducing the crash and a full list of reproduction steps (or a screen recording if possible).RECOMMENDED STEPSNuke/NukeX/Nuke Studio/Hiero can crash for a variety of reasons and while we cannot guarantee that these suggestions will prevent the crash, we would recommend that you try the steps in the following article to begin diagnosing the crash on your end:Q100540: How to troubleshoot Nuke/Hiero/Nuke Studio crashing on startupNOTE: Sending us an operating system crash log (such as macOS terminal output) will unfortunately not help us identify a possible cause for the crash. This is because the Foundry crash report will provide us with information on the Product level as opposed to just purely at the operating system level.We're sorry to hear that Please tell us why

Comparing its mass with its volume, or, in simpler words, considering how heavy it is in relation to its size. For example, iron is denser than cork. So a lump of iron is much heavier than a piece of cork of the same size, or much smaller than a piece of cork of the same weight.Archimedes knew that gold was denser than silver – so a piece of gold weighing a certain amount would be smaller than a piece of silver weighing the same: Thus, if the goldsmith had stolen some of the gold the king had given him, and replaced it with an equal weight of silver in the crown, then the total volume of the gold+silver crown would be greater than the volume of the original amount of gold.So now, all that remained for Archimedes to do was to compare the volume of the crown to the volume of the amount of gold that Hiero had given the goldsmith.The simplest method of determining the volume of the crown would have been to melt it down, shape it into a cube and measure its volume. But Hiero had given strict instructions that the crown was not to be damaged in any way. So how was the volume to be determined? This is where Archimedes’ discovery came in useful. First, Archimedes took a lump of gold and a lump of silver, each weighing exactly the same as the crown, and filled a large vessel with water to the brim, precisely measuring how much water was contained in the vessel. He then gently lowered the lump of silver into it. This caused as much water to spill out over the sides of the vessel as was equal in volume to the lump of silver. Archimedes took the lump of silver out of the water and carefully measured the amount of water left in the vessel, thus arriving at the amount of water that had been displaced by the silver. He again filled the vessel with water to brim, taking care to fill it with exactly the same amount of water as before. He then lowered the lump of gold into the water, and let the water displaced by it spill out over the sides. Then, doing as he had done with the lump of silver, Archimedes took out the lump of gold from the water, and arrived at the amount of
