                Weight of body =weight  of liquid  displaced  by the body  so, 
W = 1000 * 9.81 * 2 * 3 * 0.6
W = 35.316KN.
                W = 1000 * 9.81 * 2 * 3 * 0.6
W = 35.316KN.

                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.

                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.

                You are correct and you explained with the simple concept. Thanks @Vishwas.

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

                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
