Question
As a machinist presses the handles of the compound action bolt cutters, link \( AB \) carries a \( 7.2 \, \text{kN} \) force. If the link has a \( 15 \times 3 \, \text{mm} \) rectangular cross section, calculate the tensile stress within it.

**Diagram Explanation:**
The image depicts a pair of compound action bolt cutters with two handles and a cutting mechanism. The point \( AB \) is identified on the cutting mechanism, where the force is applied. The force \( F \) is indicated with arrows on both handles, depicting the action of pressing or cutting.

**Calculation Instruction:**
(Expression of the answer should use three significant figures.)

\[
\sigma = \text{____} \, \text{MPa}
\]
