Best Answer

you weigh the block on a balance get its mass

if it is a regular shape block so the volume should be length * weadth * breadth (side * side * side) the density = mass / volume

What is the density of the wood block?

Density = Mass/Volume

What measurements and what calculations would you make to find the density of the wood in a rectangular block?

Volume


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.

How is the mass of a wood block related to its volume?

Density of wood = mass/volume


Rectangular Block of Wood in density?

A triple-beam balance can be used. The units could be g/ml the density of a normal wood is 0.88 but a wood block in density can be anything under 1 so it can be 0.95,0.54,etc. waters density is 1 and would can float on water so wood is anything below 1.


If a block of wood has a volume of 40 cubic cm and a mass of 30 grams what is its density?

Density is mass divided by volume. This block of wood is therefore 0.75g per cubic cm.


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 do you calculate if a block of wood will float in water or not?

If the density of the block is less than the density of water, then the block will float. Density of water is close to 1 gram per cubic centimeter. So measure the block and calculate its volume (Length x Width x Height). Use a scale to find the block's mass. Then divide mass/volume to calculate density. If you've measured in grams and centimeters, then the units will be g/cm³, then compare this to 1 g/cm³.


What is theweight of a block of wood iin pounds?

A block of wood can be of different sizes; this will affect the mass, and weight, a lot. To a lesser degree, the weight of a block of wood will also depend on the density, since different types of wood have different densities.


What is the density of a wood block with a mass of 100 g and a volume of 125 cm3?

This density is 0,8 g/cm3.
