Hi, Chaw. You have not given us any context, and you can't solve the problem the easy way by weighing it, so I assume this is a homework question that you want someone to do for you. If I'm in error, please provide the context.

Always include the units when you work such problems and you'll know you've done it right because the answer will be in the right units. You multiply the area of the part (sq. mm) by its thickness (mm) to get the volume of the part (cm3). You multiply the volume of the part (cm3) by the weight of the material per unit volume (g/cm3) to get the weight (g).
