Best Answer

-- 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.

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 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)!


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.


Why does a piece of wood float in water?

Because the piece of wood is less dense than the water


Does a piece of wood float or sink into water?

The piece of wood floats in water because its specific gravity is less than water.


How do you find the 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


What you called wood piece which float in water?

Drift wood


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.

How do you find volume of a piece of wood?

You times the length by the width by the height to find volume. To find the density do mass divided by volume.


Why does wood float and metal sink?

Because the wood's density (which is a measure of mass in a certain volume) is less than that of water, while iron's is higher. Hence why 1 cubic centimeter of wood weighs less than the same volume of water.


What is the density of a piece of wood that has a mass of 25.0 and a volume of 28.7?

Density = Mass/Volume = 25.0/28.7 = 0.871 units of mass per units of volume.
