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.
Why does a wooden piece float in water?
As a general rule, an object will float if its density is less than the fluid it is placed in. Most types of wood have less density than water, so they will float in water.
Why does a piece of wood does not float on oil?
because have high density than oil

Does a block of wood sink in water?
It may or may not float. It depends on whether the entire piece of wood is less dense than the water. Most wood is and will float on water. Very dense woods, such as ebony and cocobolo are more dense than water and will sink.
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.
Can wood float on honey?
