An investigation of a cantilever This investigation is into the deflection of a cantilever when weights are placed on it. Input variables of this investigation I could study The input variables are: - * Mass On the ruler * Length of ruler(overhang) * Thickness of ruler * Material of ruler * Position of weights on ruler The input variable I am going to choose is the mass on the ruler. Therefore the input variables I must keep the same are as follows: - * Position of weights on ruler * Length of ruler(overhang) * Width of ruler * Material of ruler The outcome variables I am going to measure is the effect of masses on the ruler from this I am going to measure the deflection of the ruler in cm. I learnt from my preliminary experiment what my ranges should be and how many results I would need to prove my prediction. Also I learned how to set up my apparatus and how big or...
