Abstract:

The purpose of this experiment is to determine how a beam deflects with load and compare the experimental values to the values calculated from the simple formula and exact formula. We take three different eccentricities 75 mm, 55 mm, 35 mm and gradually apply load to them. Taking readings and making graphs to explain the outcome. This kind of experiment is helpful in construction of railways and grids.

1.0 Introduction:

The experiment is done to find the connection between the bending of the beam with applied load to a specific
