Metal and wood have the same mass per unit volume.

Answer 1

Metals have more mass per unit of volume than wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as the amount of matter contained in a unit of volume. A material that is denser than another will therefore have more mass per unit of volume.

The density of a body can affect buoyancy, bodies with low enough densities can float in fluids. For example wood can float in water while metals can't.
