It can float, in a given quantity of the (liquid at room temperature metal) Mercury. This is because mercury is denser than any pebble, stone, likely to be found on earth surface. Floating is the condition or state of bouyancy in a liquid. So a stone is to mercury as a cork is to water.

Why does a huge Viking boat float and a pebel sink?

A huge Viking boat floats due to its design and the principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight. The boat has a large hull that displaces a significant amount of water, allowing it to support its weight without sinking. In contrast, a pebble is small and dense, displacing only a small amount of water relative to its weight, which is why it sinks. Thus, the boat's shape and volume enable it to float, while the pebble's density causes it to sink.
