Interesting Question. I would say Yes. However, be aware that there is another force that could hold the ice cube. That is viscosity. Viscosity is a force resists movement of fluid over a solid surface. For the cube to "float" means the weight of the cube of ice is lighter than the weight of the ketchup that it displaces.


Two different forces going on.
