Where it will work, you can cut out or hollow inner areas of a shape, as long as you leave the structural integrity intact. Strength is best maintained if the remaining shape has triangular elements.
Yes, it pulls out any moisture.
No, that is why it floats. It is less dense than water
We've found that the large foam gliders (4ft wingspan) fly the furtherst, but for airplanes that are all the same size, I think that balsa wood is the way to go.
no, because mercury can be able to burn things, so when wood goes into liquid mercury, it would most likely melt or "crash and burn."answ2. The above is not correct. Balsa wood would float easily on the surface of mercury. Mercury is a toxic and dangerous material, but it does not of itself provoke combustion.
it varies slightly with each piece of wood (moisture content, etc.) but it's usually around .17 grams per cubic meter
put a hole in a box to make it lighter:)
balsa wood is recycable because it is basicly a lighter form of regular wood
It depends how much ice and how much balsa wood you have.
Balsa is the lightest natural wood in the world.
Balsa wood is so light that it makes it easy to make a structure out of. You just have to find slightly lighter balsa wood. I made a 15 gram structure in 5th grade and it held over 200 lbs.
Because balsa wood is much lighter
Balsa wood is natural it comes from the Balsa tree
They differ by both density and stiffness. Balsa is about/almost three times lighter and pine is three times stiffer. N.J.
No, balsa wood has no magnetic properties.
Balsa Wood
Box, pear or balsa wood.
Tommy's dad showed him how to make a model airplane using balsa wood and glue. The word balsa is a noun.
balsa wood is a type of grain that is....?!!
