1. Let’s make a conversion of units: 15 tons = 15000 kg.

2. To calculate the pressure, the force must be divided by the area of the support.

3. Find the force by the formula F = mg; F = 15000kg * 10N / kg = 150000N.

4. Calculate the pressure: P = 150000N / 3m2 = 50000Pa.

Answer: 50,000Pa or 50kPa.
