the density of balsa wood ranges from 40 to 340 kg/m^3....moreover the typical density is stated as 160kg/m^3...however most people use the debsity as 200kg/m^3 I suppose for calculations purpose

Is balsa a hardwood?

No, balsa is not a hardwood. Balsa wood is classified as a hardwood due to its density and cellular structure.

It depends how much ice and how much balsa wood you have.


The density of balsa wood is 0.2gcm cube What is the mass of a 1 cm cube b5 cm cube of balsa wood?

The volume of the 5cm cube of balsa wood is 125cm³ (5cm x 5cm x 5cm). Using the density of 0.2g/cm³, we can calculate the mass by multiplying the volume by the density: 125cm³ x 0.2g/cm³ = 25g. Therefore, the mass of a 5cm³ cube of balsa wood is 25g.


What is the density of balsa?

Balsa wood is a slightly spongy, light color, extremely lightweight wood often used in hobbies for model airplane making.


Would balsa wood float or sink?

Balsa wood would float because it is one of the lightest woods available, with a density lower than that of water. Its low density allows it to displace enough water to support its weight, making it buoyant. This property is why balsa wood is often used in model building and lightweight structures.


What kind of material is balsa wood?

Surprising though it may seem, balsa is a hardwood. The actual hardness or density of the wood has little to do with the classification. - Generally if a tree is an angiosperm (bearing broad leaves and flowers) , then it's a hardwood.

What is the mass of balsa wood?

Different varieties of balsa and different parts of the same tree have different densities. Values between 0,12 and 0,36 can be found from various sources. (Weight) Mass = Density * Volume Just like silver or chopped liver, you can get a bundle of balsa wood that weighs as much or as little as you want.


What is Young's Modulus for balsa wood?

it is around 1 GPa or lower.. depending on the type/density


How light is balsa treev wood?

The short and unhelpful answer is, it depends how much of it you have!In fact, it is even more variable than that. As you may know, balsa is a very light and coarse grained wood, but the density of the grain can vary greatly and this in turn affects its weight by volume (the density).Typically the density of balsa ranges from 40 to 380 kg/m3 or 2.5 to 24 lb/f3
