This Bending of Beam Apparatus is an important laboratory instrument used to study the deflection of a beam when load is applied at its centre. It helps students understand elasticity, bending behavior, and the relationship between applied load and beam deflection.

 The apparatus consists of a metal bar measuring approximately 100 cm in length and 25 mm in width. The bar is supported on two G-clamps fitted with knife edges for proper end support. A movable central knife edge with a weight hanger is provided for applying load at the required position. Beam deflection is measured accurately using a precision spherometer mounted on a cast iron stand.

 This apparatus is suitable for physics and engineering laboratories in schools, colleges, universities, and technical institutions for experiments related to Young’s Modulus and material properties. Supplied without slotted weight set.

 Experimental Objectives

 To study the deflection of a beam under applied load.
 To determine the Young’s Modulus of the material of the beam.
 To understand the elastic behavior and bending properties of a material.
