For this specific case, exact figures aren't needed. Wood floats in water (wood having a lower density), and mercury sinks in water (mercury having a higher density). Thus, we know that wood has a lower density then mercury, and will, therefore, float on it.

Definitly;
Mercury is the densiest liquid on earth; and don't think you could find a wood with a higher density than mercury.

Good God, yes. It would practically rest on top of the mercury.

Derek is right, I don't think I could write it any more rationally than that, I just had to make sure you didn't believe 'no' to be correct.
