The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:

$W-N=0$ (1)

the weight of the hyppo is

$W=mg=(1500 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14,700 N$

where m is the hyppo's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration; therefore, solving eq.(1) for N, we find

$N=W=14,700 N$
