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)!

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.


What is the mass of a piece of pyrite that has a volume of 40cm3?

Iron pyrite (FeS2) has a density of 4.8 to 5.0 grams per cm3. A piece of volume 40 cm3 would, therefore have a mass of volume*density = 192 to 200 grams.


What is the density of a piece of wood that hasa mass of 25.0 grams and a volume of 29.4cm3?

How much does a piece of wood weigh in grams?

It depends on its density and the amount.


A 6 kg piece of metal displaces 1 liter of water when submerged what is its density?

If the water is at standard temperature and pressure (25 degrees Celsius and one atmosphere), the water has density of 1 kilogram per liter. When submerged, the metal displaces its own volume of water. Therefore, the volume of the metal is 1 liter, and the density of the metal is 6 kg/liter.


The mass of a piece of iron is 39 g and its volume is 5 cm3 What is its density?

The density is 7.8 grams per cm^3.


Gold is a precious metal with a density of 19.3 grams per ml. If a piece of gold weighs 100 grams what volume in ml should this gold displace in water?

Volume = Mass / Density, so 100 grams of gold divided by 19.3 g/mL gives a volume of 5.18 mL or 5.18 cubic centimeters. 5.18 mL of gold will displace 5.18 mL of water.


How would you determine the density of an irregular shaped piece of maple ( about 10 grams)?

Weigh the piece of maple (you've indicated it is about 10 grams) Completely submerge it in a liquid and measure the volume of liquid displaced Density = mass/(volume displaced) or about 10g/(volume displaced)
