Step1: Calculate the total force
The total force exerted by the students is the force per student multiplied by the number of students.
$F_{total}=15\times400\ N = 6000\ N$
This total force is the weight of the car ($W$). But mass ($m$) and weight ($W$) are related by the formula $W = mg$ (where $g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}$). The value $6000\ N$ is the weight, not the mass.
