Secondly how the sag varies with a varying pivot (distance from the end of piece of wood). The sag is the extension of the bridge (piece of wood). This can be seen in diagrams below. No Mass Mass Weight This distance is what is referred to as the sag Apparatus List For both experiments I used the same equipment, which included: * Retort Stand x3 * Ruler (100cm) x1 * Length of wood (90cm) x1 * String x1 * Optical Pin x1 * Cello tape x1 * Weights (50g) x4 * Weight with hook (50g) x1 Preliminary Work I have previously studied Hooke's Law, so referred to GCSE Physics Third Edition by Tom Duncan. It states here that the extension is directly proportional to the force applied. I think that this is going to be relevant in my investigation although Hooke's Law is in reference to a spring....
