∙ 7y agoAssuming that each piece of wood is the same weight as the other, the oak would float deeper because it has a greater density than the pine.

The density of oak wood is greater than that of pine wood. This means that more water has to be displaced to float a unit volume of oak wood than pine wood. Therefore oak wood floats deeper than pine wood.
