The video tutorial explains how to determine if a block of wood will float without placing it in water by calculating its density. It begins by discussing the concept of density, using water as a reference with a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the density of a wood block by measuring its mass and volume. The mass is found using a triple beam balance, and the volume is calculated by measuring the block's dimensions. The density is then computed by dividing the mass by the volume. Finally, the video concludes that the wood will float because its density is less than that of water.
