STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Force Applied at End of Leaf Spring: 37500 Newton --> 37500 Newton No Conversion Required
Length of Cantilever of Leaf Spring: 500 Millimeter --> 0.5 Meter (Check conversion here)
Modulus of Elasticity of Spring: 207000 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 207000000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Total Number of Leaves: 18 --> No Conversion Required
Width of Leaf: 108 Millimeter --> 0.108 Meter (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Leaf: 12 Millimeter --> 0.012 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = 2*P*L^3/(E*n*b*t^3) --> 2*37500*0.5^3/(207000000000*18*0.108*0.012^3)

Evaluating ... ...

C = 0.0134822051803697

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0134822051803697 Meter -->13.4822051803697 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

13.4822051803697 ≈ 13.48221 Millimeter <-- Nip in Leaf Spring
