Another opinion: No.
Depending on its exact composition, the density of any steel is somewhere
between 7.48 to 8.0 times the density of water. Anything whose aggregate
density is greater than that of water sinks in it.

Does silly putty float?
The answer is yes it can, let me explain. A solid ball of silly putty will sink in water, however if you flatten out the ball and turn up the edges to make a bowl shape it will float like a boat.
Why does a heavy steel ship float but a small steel ball bearing sink?
A heavy steel ship can float because it is designed in a way that allows it to displace a large volume of water, which creates an upward buoyant force greater than its weight. On the other hand, a small steel ball bearing sinks because it is not able to displace enough water to generate an upward buoyant force greater than its own weight. Therefore, the relative buoyant forces are different, resulting in the ship floating and the ball bearing sinking.
Does crushed paper ball float or sink in water?
float
A hollow steel ball weighs 1 kilogram what must its volume be for it to float in water?
For an object to flat it must displace more water than it weighs. So a 1 kg hollow steel ball bust displace 1kg of water. 1 kg of water has a volume of 1 litre so the steel ball must have a volume greater than 1l. Note: 1lite = 1000cm^3
Can plastic ball float on water?
Yes.
Whould an aluminum ball sink or float?
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
Why ball can't bounce on water?
A steel ball sinks in water because weight of water displaced by a steel ball is larger than the body of water.
Will a solid ball float or sink?
float
Can a ball float in water?
Depends on how much it weighs, if its hollow then maybe it would float. But doubting it would if its solid.
Would a solid steel ball drop faster than a solid steel ball?
Yes and no. When it 'falls' out of a cannon/musket, the solid steel ball will fall at an significantly speedier rate than that of a conventional solid steel ball not emerging from a cannon/musket housing. But sometimes the other solid steel ball will drop slightly faster than the solid steel ball as well. No one knows why really. It's a mystery. :-) (don't know what this question was supposed to mean but that was fun, lol)
What ball will drop first in hot water or cold water?
a steel ball bearing will drop faster in warm water then cold water, a beach ball will float better in cold water because cold water is more dense.
Does things made of ceramic float or sink in water?
depends on what it is...and how much water...but ceramic is pretty much like the equivalent of glass when it comes to floating in water...probably more heavier though Yes and no. If you set a solid ball of ceramic in water, it will sink. If you take the same amount of ceramic and make as large a hollow ball with it as you can, and THEN set it in water, it will float. Anything floats if its weight is less than the weight of the amount of water it displaces. That's why very large ships can be made of steel.
Will something that has a mass of 13 grams and 11 cubic cm of space float on water?
Not if it's a solid ball. Less grams than cm3 = floats in water* The metric system is cool because it's almost all based on water and how many fingers I have: 1 cubic centimeter of water = 1 milliliter = 1 gram *Why solid ball? The shape of the something makes a big difference. Steel usually sinks, but if it's shaped like a boat, it'll float.
