Variables Used
Width of Leaf - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Leaf is defined as the width of each leaf present in a multi-leaf spring.
Force Applied at End of Leaf Spring - (Measured in Newton) - Force Applied at End of Leaf Spring is defined as the net amount of force that is acting onto the spring.
Length of Cantilever of Leaf Spring - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Cantilever of Leaf Spring is defined as half the length of a semi-elliptic spring.
Modulus of Elasticity of Spring - (Measured in Pascal) - Modulus of Elasticity of Spring is a quantity that measures the spring's wire resistance to being deformed elastically when a stress is applied to it.
Total Number of Leaves - Total Number of Leaves is defined as the sum of graduated length leaves and extra full length leaves.
Nip in Leaf Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Nip in Leaf Spring is defined as the initial gap between the extra full-length leaf and the graduated-length leaf before the assembly.
Thickness of Leaf - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Leaf is defined as the thickness of each leaf present in a multi-leaf spring.
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
Nip in Leaf Spring: 13.5 Millimeter --> 0.0135 Meter (Check conversion ​here)
Thickness of Leaf: 12 Millimeter --> 0.012 Meter (Check conversion ​here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
b = 2*P*L^3/(E*n*C*t^3) --> 2*37500*0.5^3/(207000000000*18*0.0135*0.012^3)
Evaluating ... ...
b = 0.107857641442958
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.107857641442958 Meter -->107.857641442958 Millimeter (Check conversion ​here)
FINAL ANSWER
107.857641442958 107.8576 Millimeter <-- Width of Leaf

Define Nip of the Spring?

The initial gap C between the extra full-length leaf and the graduated-length leaf before the assembly is called a ‘nip’. Such pre-stressing, achieved by a difference in radii of curvature, is known as ‘nipping’. Nipping is common in automobile suspension springs.
