What is the minimum force needed to bend a 16mm x 2mm stainless steel pipe?

[parthiban.b]

The Tube materials and their mechanical properties.

Tube Material Y.S - Mpa U.T.S-Mpa Modulus of elasticity- Gpa

Stainless steel304 215 505 200


Tube Size, thickness & corresponding bending radius are.

Tube Dia & thickness Corresponding Bending Radius

16mm x 2mm 49mm

help me to calculate minimum force required to bend this pipe

please refer to my attachement...
