I do not see why not. It IS blocked, isn't it!

Actually the sink is never blocked as water can always go above the floor level.

It would be better to say the fixture has a stoppage / blockage either in the trap or the waste pipe

Scientifically that is true, but the fact is that water can NOT so through (down) the 'hole.' Hence it IS blocked!

Is the sink overflow made to prevent the sink from overflowing even if the drain stopper is down and the water if fully on?

In my experience, I would say no. Several reasons can prevent the overflow from working. Since the overflow of the sink is rarely used it has a tendency to be blocked at the lower portion where the sink joins the drain pipe. During normal use and over years the holes in the sink drain at the point where the overflow and drain pipe meets has a tendency to clog making the overflow drain slowly. You can notice this when your sink drains with a "gulping" sound. You can test the overflow drain and see how obstructed it is, but do it slowly and do not turn on the faucets on full.


The tendency for an object to sink or float has to do with the object's density true or false?

True. An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is placed in, and sink if it is more dense. Density is a key factor in determining whether an object will sink or float.
