- To investigate how the deflection of a cantilever depends on the distance of a load is hung from the point it is clamped. - - We know that cantilever is used for supporting one end of a construction. However, weight affects the flexibility of the ruler, used on the experiment. I predict that the bigger the distance, the bigger the deflection. :- INDEPENDENT DEPENDENT CONTROLLED VARIABLES VARIABLES VARIABLES (You change in (Changes during an (Kept to be a fair test) the experiment) experiment) - I must make sure I use the same weight each time. - I must keep the clamp in place. - Two '1 metre' rulers - A clamp stand - A 'G' Clamp - 7N weight - Set up the apparatus like above diagram. - Measure from floor to...
