If they float in water, then it is because the density of a ping pong ball is lighter than the density of water. The density of water is just below 1, and the density of a ping pong ball is much less than 1.
The number of ping pong balls needed to get a steel cube to float would depend on the mass of the steel cube.
about 144 ping pong balls are in a gross.
about 10cm2
To float a ship with ping pong balls, you would need to fill the ship's hull with enough ping pong balls to displace a volume of water equal to the weight of the ship. The buoyancy created by the trapped air in the balls must offset the weight of the ship to keep it afloat. This method relies on the principle of buoyancy, where the upward force of the displaced water must be greater than or equal to the downward force of the ship's weight. However, the practical feasibility of using ping pong balls for this purpose would depend on the ship's size and weight, as it would require a substantial number of balls.
yes
No they do not.
Sure it can. But you'll need a lot a lot of ping pong balls- I believe the ratio is about 1 pound per 15 ping pong balls... then you can lift just about anything.
There are 16 ounces in a pound, so 16 / 0.110 = 145.5 ping-pong balls would weigh 1 pound. Rounded down, this means that you would need 145 ping-pong balls to equal 1 pound in weight.

It is not possible to create a constellation of stars using ping pong balls. Constellations are patterns of stars in the sky that are millions of light years away and cannot be replicated with ping pong balls.
