ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE,WHICH WOULD SINK DEEPEST INTO THE WATER ASH,oak OR balsa?

Answer 1

The densest one - cause a thing sinks in until it displaces enough volume of water that the water displaced equals the weight of the object - so the denser object would have to use more of its volume creating an equal volume of water displaced to match its weight than a less dense object. And if you understand that bravo, cause I lost sight of the start by the time I got to the finish.

Answer 2

Depends on the specific gravity of the sample, generally oak first, then ash (just) and of course although balsa is technically a broad leaf hard wood it is much less dense.
Moisture Content by Weight:
Seasoned timber 15 - 20%

Elm, white 45 0.72
Hemlock 29 0.42 - 0.52
Hickory 49 0.74 - 0.84
Locust 46 0.73
Maple, hard 43 0.68
Maple, white 33 0.53
Oak, chestnut 54 0.85
Oak, live 59 0.95
Oak, red, black 41 0.65
Oak, white 46 0.74
Pine, Oregon 32 0.51
Pine, red 30 0.48
Pine, white 26 0.41
Pine, yellow, long-leaf 44 0.70
Pine, yellow, short-leaf 38 0.61
Poplar 30 0.48
Redwood, California 25 0.42
Spruce, white, black 27 0.40 - 0.45
Walnut, black 38 0.61
Walnut, white 25 0.41

Answer 3

Each would sink as deep in the water as a volume of water equal to the mass of the wood. So, which one has more mass?

Answer 4

Either ash or oak depending on which has the highest specific gravity.

Answer 5

in the end they would all get to the bottom but balsa would sink first
