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.

P = 1000*10*.6
= 6000 N/m^2
F = 6000*6
= 36000 N
= 36 KN
= 6000 N/m^2
F = 6000*6
= 36000 N
= 36 KN

Presur (p)=density*gravity*height.
Force/area=1000*9.81*0.6,
Force=1000*9.81*0.6*6,
F=35.316 KN.
Force/area=1000*9.81*0.6,
Force=1000*9.81*0.6*6,
F=35.316 KN.

Buoyancy force = weight of the water displaced by the floating body as depth of immersion is 0.6.
So,
volume of water displace by floating body is = 3*2*0.6 = 3.6 m^3.
Now,
As mass of water displaced = Density of water * Volume of water,
= 1000 kg/m^3 * 3.6 m^3,
= 3600 kg,
Weight of water displaced = Mass of water * gravitation force,
= 3600 kg * 9.81 m/s^2.
= 35316 N = 35.3 KN.
So,
volume of water displace by floating body is = 3*2*0.6 = 3.6 m^3.
Now,
As mass of water displaced = Density of water * Volume of water,
= 1000 kg/m^3 * 3.6 m^3,
= 3600 kg,
Weight of water displaced = Mass of water * gravitation force,
= 3600 kg * 9.81 m/s^2.
= 35316 N = 35.3 KN.

At equilibrium, weight of body (W) = Force of buoyancy (Fb).
Fb = Specific gravity * Volume of immersion.
Fb = 9.81*1000*0.6*2*3.
Fb = 35.3 KN.
Hence weight of body = 35.3 KN.
Fb = Specific gravity * Volume of immersion.
Fb = 9.81*1000*0.6*2*3.
Fb = 35.3 KN.
Hence weight of body = 35.3 KN.
