An investigation of a cantilever
This investigation is into the deflection of a cantilever when weights are placed on it.
Input variables of this investigation I could study
The input variables are: -
- Mass On the ruler
- Length of ruler(overhang)
- Thickness of ruler
- Material of ruler
- Position of weights on ruler
The input variable I am going to choose is the mass on the ruler.
Therefore the input variables I must keep the same are as follows: -
- Position of weights on ruler
- Length of ruler(overhang)
- Width of ruler
- Material of ruler
The outcome variables I am going to measure is the effect of masses on the ruler from this I am going to measure the deflection of the ruler in cm.
