Check the digital force display meter read zero with no load.
Place a hanger with a 100g mass to the left of the cut.
Record the digital force display reading in table 1.
Shear Force at the cu t(N)= Displayed Force.
Repeat using any masses between 100g and 500g.
Convert the mass into a load in Newton( multiply by 9.81)
Calculate the theoretical bending moment the cut and complete table 1.
Part 2
1. Check the digital force display meter read zero with no load.
2. Carefully load the beam with the hangers in any positions and loads according to
figure 2, figure3 and figure 5 and complete Table 2.
3. Record the Digital Force Display reading where:
Shear Force at the cu t(N)= Displayed Force
4. Calculate the support reaction (RA and RB) and calculated the theoretical shear
force at the cut.

Comment on how the result of the experiment compare with those calculated using
the theory.
Does the experiment proof that the moment at the cut is equal to the algebraic sum
of the moment of force acting to the left or right of the cut. If not why?
Plot the moment force diagram for load cases in figure2,3 and 4.
Comment on the shape of the graph. What does it tell you about how Shear Force
varies due to various loading condition?
