Detailed Solution

A steel coin sinks in water while floats in mercury.
Because the density of steel is more than water and less than mercury, an object floats on a liquid only if its density is lower than that of the liquid. When an object is immersed in a fluid partially or wholly, it experiences an upward force called buoyant force or upthrust.
