Q. An iron needle slowly placed on the surface of water floats because

It displaces water more than its weight

The density of material of needle is less than that of water

Of surface tension

Of its shape

Needle floats due to surface tension of water which balances the weight of needle. In equilibrium $2 F sin θ = m g$
