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.

Would a block with holes in it sink in water?
Depends on what the block is made of. A block of wood will float. A block of concrete will sink.
Which will float on water a 1-kg block of wood or a 1-kg block of aluminum?
Wood will. A solid block of aluminum will sink. Things float when their density is less than water. There are some woods that sink.
Will a block of ebony wood float in water?
a block of ebony will sink in water because it's density is 1.2 g/cm3 and the water's density is 1g/cm3
Will apiece of wood coated with gum sink or float in water?
why wood coated from gum sink float on water
Does ebony wood sink or float?
It will sink, African ebony is prized for its intensely black core. With a wood-density of 64 lb/cu. ft (1,030 kg/cu. m), it has a specific gravity of 1.03 and will not float in water.

Wood will. A solid block of aluminum will sink. Things float when their density is less than water. There are some woods that sink.
Will a block of wood with a mass of 1000 grams will sink in water?
No. It doesn't matter how heavy a block of wood is, it depends on the density of the wood. Generally wood floats as the density of wood is lighter than the density of the water, so it would float.
Will a block of ebony wood float in water?
a block of ebony will sink in water because it's density is 1.2 g/cm3 and the water's density is 1g/cm3
Which will float in water a 1kg of block of wood or a 1 g block og Aluminum?
In most cases the wood will float (there are a few dense tropical woods that will not) and the metal will sink. things float because they displace more weight of water than their own volume if not they sink
What happens when you put a wood block in salt water?
it makes water distort and change. it can either make wood expand or shrink
If you put a wooden block in a river it will float or not?
Most wood (blocks) float because most wood is less dense than water. However, there are some hardwoods that are denser than water, a block made from one of these would sink.
Will apiece of wood coated with gum sink or float in water?
why wood coated from gum sink float on water
A block of wood is floating in water The weight of the part of the block above water is one-third of the block What is the weight of the water displace by the block of wood?
The weight of water displaced by the floating block of wood is exactly equal to the weight of the ENTIRE block of wood, regardless of how much of the wood is above the water level.
Does ebony wood sink or float?
It will sink, African ebony is prized for its intensely black core. With a wood-density of 64 lb/cu. ft (1,030 kg/cu. m), it has a specific gravity of 1.03 and will not float in water.
Function of wooden blocks in physics?
Wooden blocks are used for basic experiments like converting of measurement.
If a block of ice has the density of 0.97gcm3 how much of it will sink below the water?
97% will sink below the water
