Investigation in the loading of a cantilever Aim & Hypothesis I anticipate that the loading of the cantilever will show a proportional increase in the depression of the wooden ruler which will relate directly to the mass which is applied to it. This relationship is expressed in Hooke's Law, which states that "stress is directly proportional to strain." I believe that the experiment which I am going to carrying out involving the cantilever will support this and will show that that increase in mass on the ruler will result in a proportional increase in the depression. If this is the case then I will be able to draw a graph of my results and then use this to work out an unknown mass by knowing the depression of the beam. Safety RISK ASSESSMENT - LEVEL ONE This experiment does not carry many hazards. Bags and coats will be moved out of the way to ensure...
