Experiment
A rectangular beam (or bar) AB of uniform section
is supported horizontally on two knife edges A
and B as shown in Figure
PH0101 UNIT 1 LECTURE 3 22
Two weight hangers of equal masses are
suspended from the ends of the beam.
A pin is arranged vertically at the mid-point
of the beam.
A microscope is focused on the tip of the pin.
Initial reading of the microscope in the
vertical scale is noted.
PH0101 UNIT 1 LECTURE 3 23
Equal weights are added to both hangers
simultaneously and the reading of the
microscope in the vertical scale in noted.
The experiment is repeated for decreasing
order of magnitude of the equal masses.
The observations are then tabulated and the
mean elevation (y) at the mid point of the bar
is determined.

The length of the bar between the knife
edges l is measured.
The distance of one of the weight hangers
from the nearest knife edge p is measured.
The breadth (b) and thickness (d) of the bar
are measured using vernier calipers and
screw gauge.
