An equal mass of silver will displace a different volume of fluid than that displaced by gold.
<h2>Archimedes principle</h2>
According to the Archimedes principle, when an object is partially or completely immersed in water, the object will experience a force that displaces its own weight of fluid.
Therefore, when the jeweler deceptively replaced “an equal weight” (or equal mass) of gold with silver, we can know that by observing the volume of water displaced in each case. An equal mass of silver will displace a different volume of fluid than that displaced by gold.
If you divide the scale drawing (15 in) by length by the scale of of the same dimension (3 in) and multiply what you get (5) by what the larger scale is (12 ft) you get the answer (60 ft)
