                Weight of body = weight of water displaced = buoyancy force. 
= Density x volume x g.
= 1000 x 3 x 2 x 0.6 x 9.81.
= 35316 N = 35.316 KN.

                Depth of immersion =0.6.
= sp. Grvty x depth of body.
Depth of body = 1m.
Therefore sp. gravty=0.6 hence density of body, ρ.
=600kg/m^3.
Wt of body =rho V g= 600x 3x2x1x9.81 = 35316N.

                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.
