relative density is the ratio of density of substance to that of water.

so, relative density = density of substance / density of water 

as , relative density of mercury is 13.6 states that it has density with the ratio to that of water.

density of water = 1000 kg /m3

density of mercury = relative density x density of water = 13.6 x 1000 = 13600 kg/m3

hope it helps you.
