Sam Beese 11.F Cantilevers Any structure that overhangs e.g. a bride is known as a cantilever. There is a direct relationship between the applied force and deflection of a cantilever. Aim: To investigate the affect of changing the force applied to a cantilever on its deflection. Planning: Equipment: * Meter stick - to act as a cantilever * Meter stick - to measure deflection * Retort stand to hold measuring meter stick * G clamp - to clamp cantilever to bench * 100g masses - to provide the applied force (100g feels1.0N) Procedure: * Clamp the end of the meter stick to the bench * Tie measuring meter tick to a retort stand such as a stool at the other end of the meter stick * Measure the current deflection and record as the deflection at 0.0N * Apply first 100g mass * Measure and record the change in deflection * Repeat the above for the next 5 100g masses Variables: In order...
