By "force", I assume you mean, 'what is the equivalent static load of an impact from a 300# object falling 3 feet'. What you have there is 900 ft-lb of potential energy. The force applied to the other body on impact is going to depend on the structure of both bodies. In the extreme case, people often survive car crashes, even without airbags, because the metal of the car deforms, spreading out the time of the collision so the person's body has much more time to slow down, reducing forces on it. Since F = M*A, more time to slow down means the absolute value of A is lower, which brings down the absolute value of F. How much force you will get from your 900 ft-lb depends on the nature of the object and the surface it's landing on. If both are very hard, the collision will be elastic and the force very high. If one or both is soft, not so high.

How many pounds of effort force does a lever have if it has an effort arm of fifteen units long and a resistance arm of 10 units and can lift a 3-pound weight?
It would require (3 X 10)/15 = 2 lb to lift the 3 lb weight. Actually, something a little greater than that. 2 lb is the force to balance it. (Obviously, the lever "has" no force. It requires the force to lift the weight.)
5000 psi air weight density in 10 cubic feet?
5000psi is equal to the pressure at 11,545 ft of water. The density can be found from the equation lbs/ft^3=1.3 x inches-mercury/Abs temp in Rankine. This gives lbs/ft^3= 1.3 x 11545 x 1.13/460 =36.9 pounds ( the 1.13 is to convert inches mercury to ft water ) for 10 cuft that makes it 369 pounds.
