I have a tube that is being forced against a fixed top face (see attached for details) and I am trying to calculate the perpendicular deflection when the force is applied.
I do not have a clue where to start, any pointers would be very helpful.

You have a column. You want to use a column buckling equation.
Are you familiar with Roark's Formulas For Stress and Strain?
