what is the density of gasoline, and of ethanol.
shouldn't you be the one telling me that.?
You can Google gasoline density and ethanol density to find that information. We don't give answers that we believe the students can readily find for themselves.
After you find the densities of gasoline and ethanol, then post them, and BobPursley or another teacher will help you then.

Gasoline: 737.22 kg/m3
Ethanol: 0.789 g/cm³
Ethanol: 0.789 g/cm³
whys does it floats on gasoline and not ethanol?
Maybe it would help to change gasoline to like units .737g/cm3
Now one can determine the range of densities the wood is in.

By the way, you can have the Google calculator convert units for you to CHECK your work.
Put this in the Google search window:
737kg/m^3 in g/cm^3
