does the force from dropping the marble break the surface tension of the water?

The density of a marble is far greater than that of water and that is the principal reason for the marble sinking in water.

The marble is so much more dense than the water, that surface tension doesn't even have a ghost of a chance of supporting it.

The marble weighs more that the water it displaces.

the density of marble is higher than water, so it sinks. oil floats because it has lower density than water. helium balloon flies away because it has lower density than air.
