Force to smooth a 1 mm surface bump out of a steel of sheet

AI Thread Summary
The force required to smooth a 1 mm surface bump from a steel sheet depends on the bump's shape and formation method. A steep-edged bump created by punching may require minimal energy to flatten but could easily fall back out. Conversely, a conical bump necessitates a force equivalent to that used in its creation for effective flattening. Additional factors such as the possibility of using heat, access to a press, and the type of steel (low or high carbon) also influence the required force. Understanding these variables is crucial for determining the appropriate approach to flattening the bump.

TL;DR Summary
How much force does it take to have 1 mm surface bump of diameter 16 mm circle area out of 1 mm thick steel plate
Roughly, how much force does it take to make 1 mm surface bump of diameter 16 mm circle area out of 1 mm thick steel plate of far larger area (e.g. a muscled hand pounding it laid over the base with 16 mm dia. hole by M16 bolt medium is viable enough) ?

It depends on the shape of the bump and how it was formed.

If a steep edged bump with a flat top was created with a punch, then the disc will now be free. It will take little energy to knock the punching back into the hole, but it will probably fall out again.

If the bump is conical, it will take as much force to flatten it, as was used to create it.

What shape is the bump, and how was it formed.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
