Answer #1

The density of water is 1 g/cm3

The compounds which are having lower density than water are float on water.

The compound which are having higher density than water are sink in water.

Here the density of three samples,

Spanish mahogany : 0.85 g/cm3

Oregon pine : 0.53 g/cm3

greenheart wood : 1.04 g/cm3

Spanish mahogany and Oregon pine both are having lower density than water.

Hence, Spanish mahogany and Oregon pine are float on water.
