Yes, The iron floats and does not sink. If it sank, all the iron would lie below the surface of the mercury. However, the depth the iron penetrates the mercury is considerable, and amounts to 2.34 centimeters. 1.66 centimeters of the iron block lies above the surface of the mercury. If the were pounded out into metal sheet and made into a kind of boat, much more of it would lie above the surface.
