Bending Moment Apparatus

quick overview :

Bending Moment Apparatus

Specification:

• Demonstration of the action of moment of resistance in a beam; measurement of bending moment at a section of a loaded beam; verify equilibrium of forces and moments.
• To be a bench mounted apparatus consisting of an 'experimental beam', 3 weight hangers, 2 supports and a spring balance
• The load hangers mountable in virtually any position along the beam.
• The experimental beam is in two parts, joined by a pair of low friction ball bearings. An underslung spring balance provides a resisting moment and measures the section bending moment.
• An Instruction manual for student and lecturer provided
• Set of calibrated weights and tools supplied
