A pre-tensioned rectangular concrete beam $$150$$ $$mm$$ wide and $$300$$ $$mm$$ depth is prestressed with three straight tendones, each having a cross-sectional area of $$50$$ $$m{m^2},$$ to an initial stress of $$1200$$ $$N/m{m^2}.$$ The tendons are located at $$100$$ $$mm$$ from the soffit of the beam. If the modular ratio is $$6,$$ the loss of prestressing force (in $$kN,$$ up to one decimal place) due to the elastic deformation of concrete only is ________
