Answer:
The density of Mercury is more than that of iron. An object will float in a liquid if the density of the liquid is more than that of the object. SInce the denity of Mercury is more than iron, a solid iron ball of mass 500 g will float in mercury contained in a beaker.
Hope this answer is helpful to you.
