deflection formula for cantilever

Dear All, I have a membrane 24 microns thick, 3mm*3mm square. I used
profilometer to get the deflection on it by applying 40mN force. I got a
deflection of 40,000microns. I guess its huge and hence maybe its wrong. I
want to calculate therotically the deflcetion of the membrane. I tried to
get formula but unfortunately all are for pressure. Do anyone know a formula
to calculate deflection when force is applied? If yes please let me know.
Thanks,
Arti
