Assume that you are using a piezoelectric material to build a micro/MEMS actuator beam in order to pick up a red-blood cell (with mass of ~1picogram or 10-12grams). If the dimensions of this actuator beam are length=100µm, width=10μm, and thickness=1μm, what is the minimal voltage you need to apply to this piezoelectric actuator in order to pick up the red-blood cell? Please write down all your assumptions used to estimate the voltage required.
