Depends on what metal you are refering to. * Aluminum is can be bent at 1 ton * Stainless at 50 ton * Mild Steel at 100 tons * Carbon Steel can be bent at 150 tons. All of these metal depend on the thickness of the material. For example, the thickness of these metal would have to be between the thickness of .25 (quarter inch) to .50 (half inch). Note: It also depends of the quality of the metal. SS 1311-00 steel (Swedish standard), for example, can handle 220N per square millimetre until it reaches its yield point. Once the yield point is passed some fraction of the deformation will be permanent and non-reversible. Answer: Mathematically
Δ = PL3/(48EI) Where: Δ = deflection
L = span
E = Modulus of Elasticity (see link for typicals)
I = Moment of Inertia
b = width
d = depth
I = bd3/12 for a rectangular cross section

∙ 11y agoAnecdotal: Following experiments shooting cupronickel blanks 3/4" in diameter and 1/16" thick (the same size as an American Penny) with an air rifle, I've found an instant force of 11 foot-pounds at 11 yards is sufficient with a 14gr steel pellet to fold a coin in half. This translates to an impact energy of 15 Joules.

What amount of force is needed to bend a steel fence post?
The amount of force that is needed to bend a steel fence post depends with the steel post in question. The force that is required is therefore calculated based on the material in question.
What amount of force is needed to bend tube mital?
It depends on the thickness of the tube, the diameter of the tube and the shear strength of the material.
What force is needed to bend 1.5 inch square in tubing?
it depends on both the tube wall thickness and the length of the bend and how much you bend it. Otherwise you cannot determine force.
Hold how much pressure can ss304 sheet hold?
304 Stainless has a tensile strength of about 75,000 psi. Its yield strength is about 30,000 psi. Tensile strength is the amount of force required to tear or pull apart the metal. Yield strength is the amount of force required to begin to distort or bend the metal.
Does the shape of the solid metal can be changed when we apply a great force on them?
A great force will bend (shape) any metal. In industry, (car makers, for example) shaped metal parts are formed by using presses.
What force is needed to bend 20 mm high tensile steel?
To know the force, you need to know how much you want to bend it; you also need to know the dimensions of the plate and how it is supported.
Is a crowbar a Force Magnifier or a Distance Magnifier?
Force magnifier... It's basically a lever which pivots around the sharp bend in the metal. This amplifies the force applied to the long arm.
Is gravity a force or a bend in spacetime?
Gravity is a force, not a bend in spacetime.
How does glass break?
When you apply pressure to glass, it can only resist a certain amount if force, do when the amount of pressure excedes the amount of force a glass can hold, it starts cracking from the inside, as if it were trying to bend, and eventually the sides collapse.
How does bimetal function?
A bi-metal is constructed with two dissimilar metals bonded together. The expansion factor is different in each metal. When heat is applied the bi-metal will bend in the direction of the metal with the least amount of expansion factor.

What is the function of the sheet metal?
A sheet metal brake is useful for a sheet metal machine. You need a brake on the machine that helps to bend the metal into the correct angle that you wish to bend it.
