Pressure is the force on something per unit area.

P = F/area If using SI units (which we are) then it's measured in Pascals (N/m(sq))

Assuming your crate is applying it's force evenly and that it is on a flat floor then it's just 3000/2 = 1500 Pa.

Fun to be had tipping your crate up onto a corner (say about a cm square in contact) so it then produces a force of 3000/0.01 = 300,000 Pa

If a crate accelerates at 2.5 m5 and if the net force exerted is about 500N what is the mass of the crate?

In accordance to Newton's Second Law, you need to divide the force by the acceleration. The answer in this case will be in kilograms.


A crate remains at rest on a factory floor while you push on it with a horizontal force F How big is the friction force exerted on the crate by the floor?

Friction force = -F The crate is at rest, so all forces must be balanced


What is the friction force if a crate is at rest on the surface and a horizontal force of 50N is applied to it?

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so if you push on a crate, the crate pushes back with a normal force equal to the force exerted. Thus, expect a force of 50 N to push back at you. However, if you meant the normal force of the ground exerted on the box, then that would included the 50 N force and the weight of the crate.
