Is the wood a little dark or grayish ? Because I've seen black wood that is incredibly dense.

Wow you guys are great , I love this site. Thank you everyone for your answers but I have one more question, if a a 100 ton piece of wood fell 1 mile down onto a tank, say an Abraham's tank, would the tank completely break And explode?

Fully broken or dented ?

Hi guys I just signed up to these forums because I love the science discussions here and I'm pretty big on science myself. Here is my first question and my body and I are arguing non stop about this. Can wood break metal ? I know metal is a lot denser than wood but lets take this scenario: If there was a metal wall about 2 inches thick and it was made out of steel and it is 6 feet high and 3 feet wide, how much wood would have to hit it at what speed to break through the metal ? Is this even possible ? Can wood ever break through metal at all with enough force and speed ? I have hear a theory that states any material at any density can always break something more dense if it is heavy enough and moving at high speeds. Does this apply to this scenario ? Is there truth to this theory ?
