Why do you sink when roled up in a ball and float when fully extended?

The reason for this is not inherent in your posture-- that is, being extended doesn't make you float and being curled up doesn't make you sink. You can't change your density with your posture.
What I suspect is happening is that you have let out most of your breath when you curl up in a ball, and don't when you are extended. The amount of air in your lungs DOES change your density, and can determine whether you float or sink.
