A banana has the greater mass of the two, unless the thumbtack is made of something extremely dense, like neutronium.
Thumbtacks are typically made of metal, such as steel or brass, and feature a sharp point at one end for piercing materials like paper or cork. The head of the thumbtack can be made of plastic, metal, or another material and is used for securing items in place.

A thumbtack is typically denser than water so it would sink if placed in water. However, if the surface tension of the water is strong enough, a thumbtack might be able to "float" on the surface, supported by the surface tension.
No, thumbtacks are not good conductors of electricity since they are typically made of metal but have an insulating layer of paint or plastic on the surface. This insulating layer prevents the flow of electricity.

Huh, can't you float a thumbtack in water? If it sinks, it means that the amount of water displaced weighs less than the tack.
A standard thumbtack typically measures about ¾ of an inch in length.
