The average density of the wood is less dense than water, while the metal of a coin is more dense than water. If you weigh equal volumes of each, you will see the difference in density.
Drift wood
I would say a circle shaped piece of wood (hollow) would float best because a normal piece of wood floats pretty well (square). But a circle piece of wood would float even better cause its even & hollow.
A piece of wood floats in water because wood has a lower density than water. This means that the weight of the water displaced by the wood is greater than the weight of the wood itself, causing it to float.
Yes, a piece of wood will typically float in oil because wood is less dense than oil. This means that the wood will displace enough oil to support its weight and remain afloat.
Whether a piece of wood floats or sinks in water depends on the density of the wood. If the wood has a lower density than water, it will float. If it is denser than water, it will sink. Wood is usually less dense than water, so it typically floats.

No, the piece of wood will not float. The density of the wood can be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume (2cm x 10cm x 5cm). If the density is greater than the density of water (1 g/cm3), the wood will sink.
Wood is less dense than water, which causes it to float. The air pockets within the wood also contribute to its buoyancy. Additionally, wood is porous, allowing it to displace water and remain afloat.
A piece of wood coated with gum will likely float in water because the overall density of the wood-gum combination is still lower than that of water. The gum coating may provide some waterproofing that could help the wood remain afloat for longer.
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.
To find the density of the wood, use the formula density = mass/volume. The volume of the wood is 3.0 cm × 6.0 cm × 4.0 cm = 72.0 cm³. Therefore, the density is 80.0 grams / 72.0 cm³ ≈ 1.11 g/cm³. Since the density of the wood is greater than the density of water (1.0 g/cm³), the piece of wood would not float in water.
