This Young’s Modulus of a Bar by Uniform & Non-Uniform Bending Apparatus is a useful physics and engineering laboratory setup designed to study the elastic behavior of materials under different bending conditions. It helps students understand how a beam responds to applied loads and how Young’s Modulus can be determined through practical observation.
The apparatus consists of two knife edges mounted on heavy tripod metal supports, along with a meter scale for accurate measurement. It allows experiments in both uniform and non-uniform bending. In non-uniform bending, the load is applied at the center of the beam, while in uniform bending, loads are applied at both ends to form a circular arc.
This apparatus is suitable for schools, colleges, universities, and technical institutions for experiments related to elasticity, bending of beams, and material properties. Supplied without slotted weight set.
