Pine floats like most other wood

No, pine wood does not sink in water. It is less dense than water, so it will float on the surface.
Pine wood is not inherently waterproof and can absorb water if not properly sealed or treated. To make pine wood more resistant to water, it can be sealed with a waterproof sealant or finish.
Objects that are denser than water can sink, such as rocks, metal, or certain types of wood. Additionally, some objects that are initially buoyant may sink if they become waterlogged or if their weight increases.
Pine wood is not a good conductor of electricity due to its low electrical conductivity. The high resistance of pine wood makes it an insulator rather than a conductor of electricity.
When the wood and marble are placed in the tub of water, the wood will float while the marble will sink. This is because the density of wood is less than that of water, causing it to displace enough water to provide an upward buoyant force greater than the force of gravity acting on it. The marble, on the other hand, has a density greater than that of water, so it sinks.
This depends on the type of liquid and type of object. A different density of either will affect the buoyancy of an object. For example, wood is less dense than water, so it floats on top. However, if there is a liquid less dense than wood, then the wood will sink in it.
