    750 cm^3

    Explanation:

    mass of wood = 750 g

    Buoyant force acting on the wood = Volume x density of wood x gravity

    According to the Archimedes Principle, the buoyant force acting on the wood is equal to the weight of water displaced by the wood

    So, the weight of water = 750 g

    Volume of water = mas of water / density of water = 750 / 1 = 750 cm^3
