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.


Why does a block of wood float higher in saltwater than a block of wood in fresh water?

Boyle's Law - upthrust equals the weight of fluid displaced, so the more dense fluid (salt water) will cause the wood to float higher than the less dense fluid (pure water).


Which will float on the water 1 kg block of wood or 1 g block of aluminum?

wood


How does salt water effect wood?

It doesn't effect the wood, It CURES the WOOD!


Is it a good idea to put a salt block out for your horse?

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.


A block of wood that weighs 10 g is immersed in water The total amount of water displaced is 12 ml What is the density of the block of wood?

.83 g/ml


Why does a block of wood increase in size when placed in water?

because the wood absorbs the water and its size increases the water enters the wood through small pores

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.


What part of the block of wood remains immersed in water of density 1000kg per cm cube when the block of wood placed in water has density 700 Kg per m cube?

-- The aggregate density of the wood block is 700/1000 = 0.7 the density of water. -- So, as soon as the wood has displaced 0.7 of its volume in water, it has displaced its entire weight in water, and floats. -- The wood floats with 0.7 of its volume below the surface and 0.3 of its volume above it.


How are the wood block golfball and water alike?
