eureka means "ive got it!"
A 'eureka can' is basically a container with a spout. The spout is positioned a little distance below the top of the container. It is used to find the volume of usually an irregular obect by immersion into water and displacing a volume of water equal to the object's volume. To find the volume of an object, the eureka can is filled with water. The water spills out level to the rim of the spout. The obect is then lowered into the eureka can. Water, equal to the volume of the obect, is spilled out via the spout into a measuring container and thus the volume of the object can be discovered. The name of the can comes from the legend that Archimedes when getting into his filled-up bath, he realised that the volume of water that was spilled over was equal to that part of him that was in the bath...and thus "Eureka!", Ive found it!

Well this is the difference. A bath is in a bath tub and you sit and clean yourself. A shower is standing up in a tub or shower and you clean yourself.

Archimedes shouted eureka ! eureka !
Archimedes is the scientist who shouted "Eureka" while taking a bath. He made this exclamation when he discovered a method for determining the volume of an irregular object using water displacement.
Archimedes shouted eureka.
He was wearing nothing when he shouted eureka.
it was Archimedes he shouted it after he discovered that thing about the bath. He filled it up and steeped init and realized it over flowed, so without bothering to get dressed he ran down the street screaming Eureka!(I have found it).
There is no historical evidence to suggest that Albert Einstein ever shouted "Eureka" while taking a bath. The story of Archimedes shouting "Eureka" is famous in mathematical history, but there is no similar account involving Einstein.

Archimedes, the ancient Greek mathematician and inventor, is said to have exclaimed "Eureka!" when he discovered the principle of buoyancy while taking a bath. This event is a famous anecdote illustrating a moment of sudden insight or discovery.
a eureka can is called eureka because many years ago Archimedes was in the bath and he found that when he got in the water rose this is because he took up space in the tub he then said eureka that is why.
Greek mathematician and engineer Archimedes
Aristotle did not say "Eureka." The exclamation "Eureka" is attributed to Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes, who reportedly shouted it when he discovered a method to determine the purity of a gold crown. The word "Eureka" means "I have found it" in Greek.
