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 number of sweets in a jar?
Calculate the volume of one sweet. Calculate the volume of the jar and then divide the volume of the jar by the volume of a sweet.
How do you calculate volume of a wood block?
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.
What is the density of a block of wood measuring 9cmX2cmX6cm with a mass of 5.4g?
Density = mass/volume = 5.4g/(9*2*6) cm3 = 5.4/108 cm3 = 0.05 g/cm3. Balsa, one of the least dense woods, has a density of 0.16 g/cm3 which is more than 3 times the "density" of your wood! So have you discovered a super-light wood species?
