Why does a piece of glass float in mercury but sinks in water?

Glass floats in mercury because mercury is much denser than glass, creating a buoyant force that allows the glass to float. In contrast, water is less dense than glass, causing the glass to sink due to its higher density. The buoyant force in water is not enough to support the heavier glass object.
