Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The question is not complete since the liquid density is not given.

Archimedes principle states that a body at rest in a fluid is acted upon by an upward force known as the buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

An object floats when it is placed in a liquid only if the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid. Therefore those metals with density less than that of mercury would float while those with density greater than mercury would sink.
