The density of the steel balls is greater than the density of the water so they float in water. When the steel balls are placed in mercury then it floats in it because the density of the mercury is greater than the density of the steel balls. So, the steel balls displace the water equal to their weight and hence float.
Steel balls sink in water but they don’t sink in mercury. Why?
