Density=Mass%2FVolume

The given volume is 50%2Acm%5E3 and the given density of Mercury is 13.6cm%5E3. Not everything you need! Something needs to be known or given about the container, maybe the mass when empty? Did you omit something from the description?

-

If just the mass of the empty container is 320 grams, then the full container with the Mercury in it is:
%2850cm%5E3%29%2813.6%29%28grams%2Fcm%5E3%29%2B320%2Agrams.

.

Step 1.  Mass = Density * Volume = 13.6 g%2Fcm%5E3 * 50 cm%5E3 = 680 grams = 0.68 kilograms.


Step 2.  Weight = Mass * Gravity_acceleration = 0.68 kg * 9.81 m%2Fs%5E2 = 6.6708 Newtons.    ANSWER
