Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the center of mass of the displaced fluid.

When a piece of wood of density more than water is placed on water, it sinks and displaces some water.
As it sinks, more and more water is displaced. This increases the buoyant force as the the buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced.
The wood will sink until the buoyant force equal its weight.
Therefore,
The law of flotation states that a floating object displaces its own weight of the fluid in which it floats.
i.e.
Weight of floating object= weight of fluid displaced
Mass of floating object = mass of fluid displaced
Any changes in the density of the surrounding liquid affects the level in which an object floats.
Thus, you have to remember that an object will DISPLACE the amount of water or liquid that is equal to its own mass in order to float.
