Achimedes' Prinicple! HELP

Homework Statement



A rock has a volume of 5.96x10-6 m3. When it is completely submerged in a beaker of water, the water exerts a buoyant force on the rock equal to ___ Newtons.

Homework Equations



Kind of confused...

d=m/v

B= densityofwater (voulme)

is that correct?

The force is equal to the weight of water displaced
How much does 5.96x10-6 m3 of water weigh?
