It is caused by the difference in density between wood and water.
One cubic foot of wood is usually lighter than one cubic foot of water, hence the water goes up a little but the wood goes up more.
The overall density of the wood block is less than that of the water, so it floats.
The basic principle is that when a solid object is immersed in a fluid, the solid displaces some of the fluid. This causes an upthrust on the solid, equal to the weight of fluid displaced. If the upthrust is equal to the weight of the solid it floats.

What is the buoyant force on a 30 lb block of wood floating in a lake?
If it's floating, then the buoyant force on it must be 30 pounds upward.
Why a piece of wood left under water come to the surface?
Due to buoyant force
What is the apparent weight of the floating block when a block of wood is floating in a lake?
Zero.
When twisting a screw into a piece of wood where is the input force applied and where is the ouput force exerted?
well i would say the opposite side of each other :( such a bad answer
Why does a piece of wood float in water?
Because the piece of wood is less dense than the water

What tools do you need to set up a floating shelf?
For a do-it-yourself floating shelf, the minimal requirements are a precut piece of wood (or a saw to cut the wood), a hammer and nails. Premade or precut floating shelves purchased at retail stores often come with at least some tools included.
Give the effects of buoyant force of liquids on solids less dense than the liquids?
See if the solid is less dense than the liquid, like a cork floating on water or a log of wood floating on the water. The buoyant force acts on the cork or the wood and overcomes the force exerted due to acceleration due to gravity because of which these things float.
What is the difference between Bamboo floors vs floating floors?
There are three types of wood flooring: solid, engineered, engineered floating. Solid is natural wood usually 3/4" thick. Engineered is solid piece of wood on top of compressed wood the wood is usually 1/4" thick and the compressed wood is anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" thick. Engineered floating is thin solid piece of wood on top of compressed wood, it is thin enough so during installation it does not have to be attached to the subfloor. The solid wood is usually about 1/8" thick and the compressed is 1/4" thick. All these three types come in all different types of wood species such as bamboo.
When you use a hammer to drive a nail into a piece of wood are you changing the size or the direction of the force?
change the direction of force,because it exerted the force on it.
Why a piece of wood left under water come to the surface?
Due to buoyant force
A piece of iron on top of a piece wood floating in a bathtub If the iron is removed from the wood what happens to the water level in the tub?
This is a factor of many things, for example, the weight of the iron and the wood, the dimensions of the container and how much water there is, but generally the water will rise because if the item is on top of the water displaces its weight in water.
What is the apparent weight of the floating block when a block of wood is floating in a lake?
Zero.
What is the density of a piece of wood?
It depends of the piece of wood itself and the type of wood that it is.
Why can't Jack and Rose be together after the Titanic crashed?
Because Jack died in the cold water while Rose was laying safely on top of a floating piece of wood.
