see half of ball is above mercury level... so the ball is hollow inside

Could do it

Density of Iron = 7.86 g/cm3
Density of Mercury = 13.534 g/cm3

That makes 1/2 of density so sticking for
about 50% out of the mercury could be true.

That's some serious science up in this bitch

"see half of ball is above mercury level... so the ball is hollow inside"

You're thinking of an iron ball floating in water. Mercury ain't water.

Experiment is a success!

Mercury is twice as dense as Iron, so it floats with half above.
Try a 16 lb bowling ball in water.

Why...

Why does this old man have an entire tub of Mercury?! That stuff is cancerous, big time!
