Description
A
horizontal length of material with a vertical load system is called a
beam. It is one of the most basic engineering ways of supporting a load.
External forces such as the applied loads and the beam support
reactions have to be in equilibrium. Given a loading system, the support
reactions can be calculated from force and moment equations.
This
apparatus is designed for simple experiments and demonstrations on
simply supported beams. Two spring balances act as supports and enable
reactions to be read directly. Three movable load hangers allow loads to
be put in a number of positions.
Levers can be investigated by suspending the beam from the free standing frame, and holding down the end with a spring balance.
This
equipment is part of a range designed to both demonstrate and
experimentally confirm basic engineering principles. Great care has been
given to each item so as to provide wide experimental scope without
unduly complicating or compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus
is self-contained and compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all
measurements are made with the simplest possible instrumentation, so
that the student involvement is purely with the engineering principles
being taught. A complete instruction manual is provided describing the
apparatus, its application, experimental procedure and typical test
results.
