Well it gives you the force required to break it, but in Newtons. So by dividing 279000N by 9.8, we get the answer in kilograms, which is just over 28000kg, or 28 metric tonnes. Remember this is the point at which it breaks, not the point at which it begins to plastically deform (where the metal stretches but does not spring back to its shape. So to be on the safe side, use up to 2/3rds of this; which is 18 tonnes.
