What is the relative density of wood ?

Explanation

Aim : To find the relative density of wood.
Materials required : Overflow vessel, 50 ml measuring cylinder, spring balance, wooden block, water.
Procedure :
1. Weigh the 50 ml measuring cylinder and its weight.
2. Weigh the wooden block and note its weight.
3. Pour water in the overflow vessel intil it starts dripping from its beak.
4. When water stops dripping from the beak, place the 50 ml measuring cylinder under it.
5. Slip the wooden block gently into the overflow vessel, ensuring that the water does not splash out.
6. Once the wooden block is in the overflow vessel, water flows out of the beak and collects in the 50 ml cylinder.
Wait till the flow of water from beak, stops.
8. Weigh the cylinder with the water that overflowed and record the weight.

`"Relative density of wood"=("Weight of the wood")/("Weight of the waterequal to volume of the wooden block")`
