Question

A ball of crushed alluminum foil deeps in water while ir floats in mercury.why​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The steel ball floats in the mercury because it's less dense than mercury. Here a part of it is in the mercury while a part is in water. due to the density of mercury, it floats on it as it gets some upthrust and when water is poured over the setup, then it gets some additional upthrust from water too. Due to this the steel ball gets raised to some extent however it's not floated in the water due to its density.
