Solution

Objects having a density less than that of the liquid in which they are immersed, float on the surface of the liquid. If the density of the object is more than the density of the liquid in which it is immersed then it sinks into the liquid. We can make the iron float by choosing a liquid with a density higher than that of the iron. For example, mercury.
