Step 1 : Introduction to the question "2. An experiment on flotation was being carried on. An iron ball was floating on mercury, while it sank in water. Why?"
...1. Mercury has a greater relative density than iron 2. Due to greater volume of mercury 3. It has not been discovered 4. Due to a chemical reaction Mercury does not react with iron. Archimedes proved that a body with relative density less than or equal to that of the fluid (liquids and gases) on which it is placed, will float while others would sink. Iron floats in mercury as it is much less denser than mercury (the density of iron is 7.8*10^3/metre^3 while the density of mercury is 13.6*10^3/metre^3).
Step 2 : Answer to the question "2. An experiment on flotation was being carried on. An iron ball was floating on mercury, while it sank in water. Why?"
Mercury has a greater relative density than iron:
