Beam deflection lab
problem/question
How could I use the deflection of an object to measure the force applied to the object?
Calculations
FL^3/48EI
Translation: Force(length)^3/ 48(Modulus of Elasticity)(Moment of Inertia)
Translation: Force(length)^3/ 48(Modulus of Elasticity)(Moment of Inertia)
working the situations
Step 1
First you have to measure the length of the board from the ground without any weight on it.
step 2
Next you have to measure the length of the board from the ground with someone on the center it.
