This Cantilever Apparatus is a practical laboratory setup used to study the bending behavior of a cantilever beam under applied load. It helps students observe how a fixed beam deflects when weight is applied at its free end, making it useful for understanding elasticity and material strength.

 The apparatus consists of a powder-coated steel strip measuring approximately 100 × 18 × 0.3 cm (L × W × T). The strip is marked at 5 cm intervals along its length for easy measurement during the experiment. One end of the beam is rigidly fixed with a suitable G-clamp, while the free end is provided with a hook for applying loads.

 By measuring the deflection produced under known loads, students can determine the Young’s Modulus of the beam material and study its elastic properties. This apparatus is suitable for schools, colleges, universities, and engineering laboratories. Supplied without scale and slotted weights.

 Experimental Objectives

To study the bending of a cantilever beam under applied load.
To determine the Young’s Modulus of the material of the cantilever beam.
To understand the relationship between load, length, deflection, and elasticity of the material.
