From the information you've provided ... that the log floats in water and is being
transported by it ... the only properties that can be inferred are:
-- The density of the log, in its aggregate entirety, is less than that of the water.
-- The vertical dimension of the portion of the log below the water's surface is less than
the depth of the water.
Wood floating in water is called driftwood. Driftwood is wood that has been washed up onto a beach or shore by the action of tides, waves, or wind.
The apparent weight of the floating block is equal to the weight of the displaced water, according to Archimedes' principle. Since the block is floating, its weight is balanced by the upthrust force of the water pushing up on it. So, the apparent weight of the floating block is less than its actual weight.
The spring balance will read zero when attached to a floating block of wood. This is because the block of wood is buoyed up by the water, leading to a net force of zero acting on the block in a state of equilibrium.
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.
Mahogany is a type of wood that is known to sink in water due to its high density and heavy nature. This makes it a popular choice for projects that require water resistance or where sinking properties are needed.

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.

Is the block of wood floating in water? If so, then a drop of dishwashing soap dropped into the water next to the wood, will cause the wood to float away from the drop of soap. The effect is quite pronounced on small pieces of wood, and it is positively dramatic on tiny things like parsley flakes floating on the water. What's happening is that the piece of wood floating in the water is acted on by the surface tension of the water. The water pulls in every direction, so the wood doesn't move. A tiny drop of soap will break the surface tension of the water, and the surface tension on all the OTHER areas of water will cause the wood to be pulled away from the soap drop.
the piece of wood willfloat on the water
The water extracted by the wood log while floating is of equal weight of the wood or more. For this reason, the log of wood floats while a steel needle sinks.
There are many physical properties for a piece of wood. It is: A solid An insulator Less dense than water (usually)
When the mixture of marbles and wood chips is added to the water, the marbles will sink to the bottom of the container since they have a higher density than water. The wood chips will float on the surface since they have a lower density. The marbles will settle at the bottom, and the wood chips will remain floating on the water.
Some physical properties of wood (mainly cellulose) are that it can be strong and dense. Dry wood is an electrical insulator, because of the lack of water, and the many air spaces. When wet, wood is susceptible to mold and bacterial decomposition.
