Investigating the Factors That Effect the Flex of a Cantilever. I have been asked to investigate how a chosen variable can affect flex of a cantilever. While doing the investigation there are variables that I must consider : * Weight - The greater the weight of the object, the greater the downwards force will be, this force will pull the cantilever down, and cause the cantilever to bend more or less, depending on the size of this downwards force (weight). * Distance from Table - The further away the weight is from the table, the more it will bend. This is because the downwards force is increased by the distance from the pivot. * Thickness of Cantilever - The thicker the cantilever the less the cantilever will bend. This is because the fibres on the top of the cantilever are stretching less, and the fibres in the under surface of the cantilever are compressing less. Relevant Scientific...
