Reaction forces for a loaded beam

Principle

Having completed their measurements on an unloaded beam (see ME 2.13), the students should now determine the effect of a load on the loading pressure in dependence on the point of application of the load to the beam.

In the evaluation the influence of a load on one end of the force's characteristic curves should be worked out. This should be done with regard to the experiments on the laws of levers which follow later.

Benefits

• Real stand material for an esecially stable and safe setup
• Student-suitable experiment descriptions with reports available
