-- If the wood has sunk ... such as teak, ebony, or mahogany ... then its volume is 0.525 L.
-- If the wood is floating, then the portion under the water line has a volume of 0.525 L, and
the portion above the water line has volume that we can't state with the information given.

What happens when you throw a penny and a piece of wood into a bowl of water?
When you throw a penny and a piece of wood into a bowl of water, the penny sinks because it is denser than water, while the piece of wood floats due to its lower density. The buoyancy of the wood allows it to stay on the surface, while the penny displaces water equal to its volume until it reaches the bottom. This demonstrates the principles of density and buoyancy in a simple experiment.
What happens to the shape and volume of the block of wood and piece of stone when burned?
When burned, the block of wood will decrease in shape and volume due to the release of gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor. The piece of stone, on the other hand, will not be affected by burning and will retain its original shape and volume.
Is a piece of wood a solid?
the block is a solid becaus it has a definite shape
Why does the size of a piece of wood effect how easily it catches fire?
Wood is essentially formed from organic materials; organic materials can react with oxygen by burning, releasing water and carbon dioxide. By oxidation iron is transformed in iron oxides bur without burning.
What laboratory instruments would be most appropriate to use in determining the volume of a large block of wood of unknown density?
A graduated cylinder or volumetric flask could be used to measure the displacement of water when the wood block is submerged in it. By measuring the volume of water displaced, you can determine the volume of the wood block. A balance can then be used to measure the mass of the wood block, allowing you to calculate its density.
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.
A piece of iron on top of a piece wood floating in a bathtub If the iron is removed from the wood what happens to the water level in the tub?
This is a factor of many things, for example, the weight of the iron and the wood, the dimensions of the container and how much water there is, but generally the water will rise because if the item is on top of the water displaces its weight in water.
What happens when you throw a penny and a piece of wood into a bowl of water?
When you throw a penny and a piece of wood into a bowl of water, the penny sinks because it is denser than water, while the piece of wood floats due to its lower density.

What is the density of a piece of wood that weighs 62 grams and displaces 0.525 l of water?
This is clearly a piece of wood that is forcibly submerged since its density would require it to float. So the volume of displaced water should be equal to the volume of the whole piece of wood. Then, density = mass/volume = 62/0.525 g/L = 62/525 g/ml = 0.12 g/ml which is a lot less dense than balsa (0.16 g/ml)!
What happens to the shape and volume of the block of wood and piece of stone when burned?
When burned, the block of wood will decrease in shape and volume due to the release of gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor. The piece of stone, on the other hand, will not be affected by burning and will retain its original shape and volume.
Why does a piece of wood float in water?
A piece of wood floats in water because wood has a lower density than water. This means that the weight of the water displaced by the wood is greater than the weight of the wood itself, causing it to float.
How will you determine the density of a solidlike a piece of wood?
To determine the density of a solid like a piece of wood, you can measure its mass using a scale and then measure its volume by displacement or geometric measurement. Divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the wood.
Does a piece of wood float or sink into water?
Whether a piece of wood floats or sinks in water depends on the density of the wood. If the wood has a lower density than water, it will float. If it is denser than water, it will sink. Wood is usually less dense than water, so it typically floats.
Would a heavy piece of wood that measures 2cmx10cmx5cm and its mass is 89g will it float?
No, the piece of wood will not float. The density of the wood can be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume (2cm x 10cm x 5cm). If the density is greater than the density of water (1 g/cm3), the wood will sink.
What you called wood piece which float in water?
Drift wood
How do you find the liquid volume of a substance?
take a measuring cylinder and pour some water into it . tie a piece of stone to a thread and lower it into it tillit is completely immersed.note the reading(v1).now tie a piece of wood and a piece of stone together and lower them into the water till both are comletely immersed. note the reading on the cylinder again(v2).calculate the volume of piece of wood using fomula(v2-v1) from:samit kafle kawasoti,nepal
How could you find the volume of wood using a displacement can?
The piece of wood will float (partially submerged) in water. Filling up a displacement can with water and letting the water drain at the sprout is the starting point. When the water stops draining, place a dry (empty) measuring cylinder to collect water coming out of the sprout from here on. Gently lower the wood block on the water. It floats. Gently push the block down until it is just submerged. The volume in the displacement can is the volume of the wood block. The tricky part is how to push the block down without agitating the water, making the reading inaccurate. One possibility is to have a box of known weights around. Carefully place standards on the block without the weights toppling over -- starting with a heavier standard and proceeding to lighter standards (available down to 1 mg). If the standard makes the block submerge below the top surface, start over. Some volume uncertainty will remain for one run. Repeating the exercise and averaging the data will lower the uncertainty. If the piece of wood is irregular -- not a regular shape, we can try the following. find a weight that will let the block submerge completely in water with a string. Measure the volume of water displaced. Then do the weight and string without the piece of wood and measure the volume of water displaced. The difference in volume is the answer for the piece of wood. Again, repeating the experiment reduces the measurement error.
