Answer: That probably would depend on the type of wood (e.g. ironwood vs balsa.?


Answer: No wood is as heavy as iron. Iron would be heavier. Iron has a density of about 8 gram per cubic centimeter; would is usually lighter than water (density less than 1), but some woods are a little heavier than water.

Why is 1 cm cubed of wood lighter than 1 cm of iron?

Iron is denser than wood, i.e. it weighs more by volume.


Which is heavier wood or lead?

Because centimeters cubed is a unit of volume, not weight. The two might take up the same amount of space, but iron is much more dense and as such weighs more.


How do you get the volume of block of wood?

All you have to do is measure is side of the wood (length, width, height) in your preferred unit of measurement (cm, in) and then multiply the three values together. This will give you a cubic answer (cm cubed, in cubed).


Are bigger objects always heavier?

No. It isn't the size alone, but the density. A block of steel may be exactly the same size as a block of wood, but the steel is denser and therefore heavier.


Does a 2-kg iron brick have as much inertia as a 1-kg block of wood?

Why are wrought iron plant stands so heavy?

Because they are made from metal - which is heavier then plastic, wood or glass.


What is the density of a block of wood with a mass of 120 grams in a volume of 200 centimeters cubed?

120/200 = 3/5 = 0.6 g/cm3


What is the density of a block of wood that has a volume of ml and a mass of g?

since D=m/v... then the density of the block of wood would be mass / volume..... mass in grams divided by volume in ml.


Does earths gravity pull more strongly on a block of wood or on a block of iron having the same mass?

Gravity would pull on both the same. Iron has more mass than wood so you would have a large block of wood and a smaller piece of iron to eual the masses of the two but sence the volumn of wood is larger gravity will pull more on that voulumn therefore they will come down at the same rate. However if you are on earth because of air resistance, ect. these things will effect the gravitational pull on the object by interference.


Why is a smaller object heavier than a larger object?

The only time a smaller object is lighter than a larger object is when it's denser. A smaller iron object is heavier than a somewhat larger wooden object because iron is denser than wood.
