The wood would float in all buckets of water

Explanation:

  • Wood floats in water due to buoyancy, since it is less dense than water
  • "Buoyancy" is an "upward force" that is exerted by a fluid which opposes the weight of an "immersed object".
  • If the "Buoyancy force" is equal to the object's weight, it will be "floating" on the water.
  • It does not matter what the size of the wood is. What matter is density (ratio of mass/unit "volume of a substance"). Hence, a wood piece floats on the water since the "Buoyancy force" is equal to the wood weight.
