This depends on the species of wood and the moisture content of that piece of wood.
Wood moisture meters can be used to determine the appropriateness of a piece of wood for installation of a wood floor. Such meters can be purchased on Amazon.
The only way to determine the weight of a 12 foot long 2 x 6 is to weigh it. It can not be calculated mathematically due to varying wood densities and moisture content.

The two methods used to determine the moisture content of wood are the oven-drying method, in which a wood sample is weighed before and after drying in an oven, and the moisture meter method, which uses an electronic device to measure the electrical conductivity of the wood to estimate the moisture content.
A moisture meter measures the electrical resistance or capacitance of the wood, which can vary with moisture content. The meter is calibrated to convert this electrical signal into a percentage of moisture content. This reading helps determine if the wood is at an appropriate level of dryness for its intended use.

Wood shrinks as it loses moisture content due to evaporation or drying out. This causes the cells in the wood to contract, resulting in a decrease in size. Changes in humidity levels can also affect the amount of moisture in the wood, leading to further shrinkage.
Generally, the requirement of moisture content after cooling is 12%-15%, and not more than 18%.
Is highly variable depending on wood type and moisture content.

When the atmospheric humidity exceeds the moisture content of the wood.
It depends on the branch's moisture content. Dry branches break if you try to bend them. The greater the moisture content of the branch, the further you can bend it before it breaks. Manufacturers who need to bend wood, for example when making musical instruments or wooden wheels, put it in a steamer to increase the moisture content. Immediately after removing the wood from the steamer, the worker bends the wood into the shape he/she wants then clamps the wood to hold that shape until it dries.
An acceptable moisture content runs anywhere from 4 to 18% depending on a variety of factors including the species of wood, where the wood floor is installed geographically, and the time of year. As a result, most wood used for flooring is kiln dried to 6 to 9% moisture content to assist in keeping it from getting so wet it contracts and so dry it shrinks.
The two main factors that determine the density of wood are the species of the tree and the moisture content of the wood. Different tree species have varying densities due to their cellular structure and growth patterns. The amount of moisture present in the wood affects its weight and density, with denser wood typically having lower moisture content.
The energy content of wood varies depending on the type and moisture content, but on average, 1 kilogram of wood contains approximately 16-20 megajoules (MJ) of energy.
