Density and pressure — practice question

A round disc is illustrated in Fig. 1.1. Its diameter is $28\,\text{mm}$ and its thickness is $12\,\text{mm}$. The disc is made from a material with density $6.8 \times 10^3\,\text{kg m}^{-3}$.
(main)[4]

Calculate, to two significant figures, the weight of the disc.
