                Pressure = density * gravity * height. 
9.81*1000*0.6 =5886N/M2,
Then force =pressure *area,
5886 * 3 * 2 = 35.3 KN.
                9.81*1000*0.6 =5886N/M2,
Then force =pressure *area,
5886 * 3 * 2 = 35.3 KN.

                Let's take the body as the submerged body then the formula is given by;
W*A*X.
9810*6*0.6.
35314N = 35.3 KN.
                W*A*X.
9810*6*0.6.
35314N = 35.3 KN.

                Weight of water displaced(W)= density * Volume(V).
= (9.81) * (3 * 2 * 0.6),
= 9.81 * 3.6,
= 35.316 KN.
                = (9.81) * (3 * 2 * 0.6),
= 9.81 * 3.6,
= 35.316 KN.

                Given,
Length 3M.
Whidth 2M.
Depth 1M and depth of immersion 0.6.
3x2x0.6 = 3.6M^3.
Weight of water 9.81x3.6 = 35.3KN.

                The weight of the body = (3*2*1) * 9.81*0.6.               
= 35.3KN.
                = 35.3KN.

                Press= density * sp.gra * depth.
Press = 1 * 9.81 * 0.6,
Press = 5.88 KN/m2.
Wt of body = press* area.
Wt. Of body= 5.88 * 6.
Ans= 35.5 Kn.
