In this problem, we are asked how much force a dump truck imparts onto the ground beneath it in kilonewtons (kN). We are given the weight of a fully loaded dump truck. We can ignore the whole story about the dump truck and the wheel, and can also ignore the information about the hydraulic ram. This whole problem is just a basic unit conversion problem! And the reference manual has unit conversions in the very first few pages.
