Length times width times height (lwh) is a way to figure out volume. If you try to do it with water displacement, the wood will adorn the water and ruin the calculations.

How do you calculate if a block of wood will float in water or not?
If the density of the block is less than the density of water, then the block will float. Density of water is close to 1 gram per cubic centimeter. So measure the block and calculate its volume (Length x Width x Height). Use a scale to find the block's mass. Then divide mass/volume to calculate density. If you've measured in grams and centimeters, then the units will be g/cm³, then compare this to 1 g/cm³.
How do you calculate the volume of a block?
Block being a box: Height * Length * Depth = Volume Giving the three dimensions available.
How can two blocks of wood have the same volume but one is denser?
A block of light balsa wood and a block of heavy teak of the same size, will also have the same volume (which is the space each block occupies).
A block of wood has a height of 10 m a length of 2 m and a width of 2 m What is the volume of the block of wood?
40 cubic meters
If a block of wood is 27g what is the density of this block?
u need the volume . if u did have the volume u would divide the mass (27g) by the volume. then add the label g/ml

How is the mass of a wood block related to its volume?
Density of wood = mass/volume
What is the volume of wood block?
If its a cuboid, volume = length * breadth * height .
How do you calculate the volume of a block?
Block being a box: Height * Length * Depth = Volume Giving the three dimensions available.
What is the density of the wood block?
Density = Mass/Volume
What is the Density of a 750 g block of wood measuring 12cm x 8cm x 9cm?
The equation for the density of an object with known mass m and volume V is D=m/V.You are given the mass to be 750g.To figure out the volume of the block of wood, simply multipy all of the dimensions. The volume of a right prism (e.g. a block of wood) is V=length*width*height, so the volume for the block of wood is 12cm*8cm*9cm=864cm3.Now you know both your mass and your volume, so you can calculate the density:D=m/VD=(750g) / (864cm3)D is roughly equal to 0.86806g/cm3.
How can two blocks of wood have the same volume but one is denser?
A block of light balsa wood and a block of heavy teak of the same size, will also have the same volume (which is the space each block occupies).
What is the volume of a block of wood?
IF you knew the volume of the block and the density of the material it was made of you could calculate it mass (mass = density * volume) but it is normal to measure the mass of something using a mass balance.
How do you find the volume of a block of wood?
no clue please help
If a block of wood has a volume of 40 cubic cm and a mass of 30 grams what is its density?
Density is mass divided by volume. This block of wood is therefore 0.75g per cubic cm.
What is the formula for calculating the volume of a block of wood?
Since, this is a cubical block, It can be length * breadth* height..
How are the wood block golfball and water alike?
volume,weight and mass
