Buoyancy and Gravity interact with one another when an item is submerged in water. Gravity pulls objects down, whereas buoyancy pulls objects up, or in the opposite manner. The sample of wood would weigh less than the displaced water if you were to compare its weight to an equivalent volume of water. Wood floats on water because it has a lower density than water. Wood floats in the water because there is a stronger upward buoyant force acting on it. So its true.
