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)
Nip in Leaf Spring: 13.5 Millimeter --> 0.0135 Meter (Check conversion here)
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

n = 2*P*L^3/(E*C*b*t^3) --> 2*37500*0.5^3/(207000000000*0.0135*0.108*0.012^3)

Evaluating ... ...

n = 17.9762735738263

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

17.9762735738263 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

17.9762735738263 ≈ 17.97627 <-- Total Number of Leaves
