A paperweight, when weighed in air, has a weight of W = 6.5 N?

When completely immersed in water, however, it has a weight of Win water = 4.1 N. Find the volume of the paperweight.

It's the volume of 2.4 N of water. Now you know HOW to do it, you can do the rest yourself.

weight density is weight/volume

but what is the paperweight made of?

assuming that the paperweight is made of glass, d = 2600 kg/m^3 = 25480 N/m^3

V = w/weight density = 6.5/25480 = 0.000255 m^3
