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.

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

Earth's gravity pulls equally on both a block of wood and a block of iron of the same size. Gravity depends on the mass of the objects, not their material composition. The weight experienced by each block will be based on their mass, with the iron block likely to be heavier due to its higher density.


Is the wooden is heavier than iron one?

No, iron is heavier than wood.


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.


What is the density of a block of wood with a mass of 120g and a volume of 200cm cubed?

The density of the block of wood is 0.6 g/cm^3. (Density = mass/volume)


Is an iron nail heavier than a wooden stool?

It depends on the size and weight of the nail and stool. Generally, an iron nail is heavier than a wooden stool because iron is denser than wood.


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).


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.


Why is a block of wood heavier than the same volume of gas kept in a container?

A block of wood is heavier than gas because the wood has more mass and density compared to the gas molecules which are spread out in the container. The atoms and molecules in the gas have less mass and are flying around with more space between them, making the gas less dense and lighter than a solid block of wood.


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

No.


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


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.
