Mercury insert a bigger buoyant force to a fully submerged wood?

That is true. Because buoyant force is nothing but the weight of the displaced liquid when a body gets submerged in the medium of liquid. In case of mercury the relative density of mercury is 13.6 compared to that of water. A wood when placed in water, that would float due to greater buoyant force. If it is so, then you imagine about the buoyant force in case of submerging a wood in mercury. Wood having greater volume would expel that much volume of mercury. Hence the weight of the equally displaced mercury will be immense and so the result. Usually iron nails would float on mercury.
