If a solid iron ball is dropped at the surface of the deepest spot in the ocean (the Marianis Trench, about 11 km deep) what would you expect to happen?

1.It would sink to the bottom.
2.It would sink, but it would remain suspended at some great depth before reaching the bottom.
3.It would float near the surface because it is so deep here.
4.It is impossible to tell.
