This apparatus is a simply supported beam, supported at its ends, designed for verifying the equilibrium of parallel forces, the law of the lever, and forces on a beam. It includes two compression thrust-type 10 kg tubular spring balances mounted on a wooden board, along with a wooden beam featuring a steel backplate. The setup is complete with two stirrups, hooks, and two 1kg weights for experimentation.

Experimental objective

To study Equilibrium of parallel forces using simply supported beam reactions.
