To answer this you need to know the density of Olive oil and the density of the plastic.

Olive oil has a density of between 0.8 - and 0.92 at standard room temperatures (you can look this up on the web).

Your plastic object has a volume of 4 times 2 times 3 = 24 cubic centimeters and weighs 19.2 grams.

One cubic centimeter of the plastic would therefore weigh 19.2 divided by 24 = 0.8 and this value is also its density (grams per cc).

Thus the answer is that the plastic would float on the dense type of Olive oil but would be neutrally buoyant in the less dense types.
