) If the deformation of each crack strand is considered to be similar to the deflection of a cantilever beam, determine the force required to deform each beam. Consider the thickness is , the height of each beam strand is , the crack length is , the elastic (Young) modulus of the material is , and the total applied deformation is . Enter your answer in a numerical format without using commas or powers. One possible correct answer is: 5275.7989008752 a=17cm
