It depends of the piece of wood itself and the type of wood that it is.

What is the density of a piece of wood that has a mass of 3.85 x 104 g and is 84.3 cm x cm x cm?

The density of this piece of wood would be 456.7 g/cm^3.


Why wood floats on water?

the density of water is higher than the density of wood... & so an iron piece sinks & a ton of wood floats...


How could two pieces of wood of different sizes have the same density?

You are confusing density with weight. Two pieces of wood of the same density but different sizes have different weights. Density, you could say, is like hardness. If you take a 6 foot piece of wood, and cut 2 feet from it, the two pieces of wood are definitely different weights but the same hardness. Since they came from the same original piece of wood, they almost have to be the same density. There are some types of wood that have such high density that they will not float on water.


Why does a piece of wood float when a piece of lead sinks and they both have the same volume?

The density of the wood is lower than the density of the water, so the water displaces the wood and is held to the 'floor' by gravity. Lead is more dense, so it can displace the water and sink.


Why does a piece of wood does not float on oil?

because have high density than oil


Does a large piece of wood have a greater density than a small piece of wood?

The larger piece will probably have more mass than the smaller one. But if the wood is of the same type and "all things are equal" as regards moisture content, sap content, etc., the density of both pieces of wood will be the same. Density does not depend on the size of a sample. Density is mass per unit of volume. If a large gold nugget and a small gold nugget are compared, the larger nugget will have more mass, but both nuggets will have the same density.


A piece of wood of relative density 0.25 float in a pail containing oil of relative density 0.81what is the percentage volume of the wood above the surface of the oil?

69.1%


Why does same sized piece of wood is lighter than iron piece?

The wood is "lighter" (weighs less; has less mass) than the iron because of it's density. Iron has a greater density than wood, and density is defined as mass/volume, so having the same volume (size), the iron will have a greater mass.


how much does a 396 cubic feet piece of wood weigh?

The weight of a piece of wood depends on its density. The density varies between species: from 0.16 g/cc for balsa to as much as 1.33 g/cc for lignum vitae.


What is the density of a piece of wood that has a length of 10cm a width of 5cm and a height of 3 cm?

The volume of the piece of wood is (10 x 5 x 3) = 150 cubic cm. In order to find its density, you also have to know its mass. When you have that, divide it by 150 cm3, and the answer is the density.


A piece of oak has a density of 63 how much of the wood will float above water?

37%


How much does a piece of wood weigh in grams?

It depends on its density and the amount.
