Wood floats on water because it is less dense than water. The spaces between wood fibers trap air, making wood less dense overall. This buoyancy force allows wood to float on the surface of water.
A piece of wood floats in water because wood has a lower density than water. This means that the weight of the water displaced by the wood is greater than the weight of the wood itself, causing it to float.
Whether a piece of wood floats or sinks in water depends on the density of the wood. If the wood has a lower density than water, it will float. If it is denser than water, it will sink. Wood is usually less dense than water, so it typically floats.
If one-third of the weight of the wood is above the water, then two-thirds of the weight is below the waterline. The weight of the water displaced by the wood is equal to the weight of the wood submerged in the water, according to Archimedes' principle. So the weight of the water displaced is two-thirds of the weight of the wood.
Wood has a lower density than water, and thus the upward buoyant force provided by the water is equal to the weight of the wood submerged. The density of wood less than water, all things are less than water density can float on the water
It may or may not float. It depends on whether the entire piece of wood is less dense than the water. Most wood is and will float on water. Very dense woods, such as ebony and cocobolo are more dense than water and will sink.
Yes water does absorb into wood!

Water in wood is stored in two main locations: within the cell walls of the wood fibers (bound water) and in the cell cavities or void spaces of the wood (free water). Bound water is held tightly within the structure of the wood and is more difficult to remove, while free water can be readily released as the wood dries.
Yes, in respect of samples of wood and water with the same weight. Before you put the wood in the water, the bulk of the water is supporting a volume of water at the surface, whose shape is the same as the submerged part of the wood. Wood has a lower density so the weight of the wood below the surface is lower than the weight of the water it displaced, and the weight of the wood above the surface makes up the difference, so the water is supporting the same total weight as before.
water is a liquid but wood isn't its a solid :D
Wood Water Records was created in 2007.
If one-third of the weight of the wood is above the water, then two-thirds of the weight is below the waterline. The weight of the water displaced by the wood is equal to the weight of the wood submerged in the water, according to Archimedes' principle. So the weight of the water displaced is two-thirds of the weight of the wood.
If you put water on wood, the wood will absorb the water and become wet. Depending on the type of wood and the amount of water applied, the wood may swell, warp, or decay over time. It is generally recommended to keep wood dry to preserve its structure and prevent damage.

water has the affect on wood that the water is absorbed into the wood sometimes changing the shape or density
because the wood absorbs the water and its size increases the water enters the wood through small pores
