Non Uniform Bending - With Graph

The document outlines an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a beam using non-uniform bending. It includes the aim, required apparatus, formula, procedure for measuring depression under various loads, and methods for measuring the beam's thickness and breadth. The results will be calculated and recorded, with a marks distribution for evaluation.

NON-UNIFORM BENDING-DETERMINATION OF YOUNG’S MODULUS

Aim
To determine the young’s modulus of the given material of the beam by Non uniform bending.

Apparatus required
A meter scale, travelling microscope, pin, slotted weights with hanger, vernier calipers, screw gauge, knife
edges etc.,

Formula
𝑔𝑙3 𝑀
The young’s modulus of the given material of the beam 𝑌 = ( Nm-2
4𝑏𝑑3
) (𝑦 )

Symbol Explanation Unit


g Acceleration due to gravity (g= 9.8) ms-2
l Distance between the two knife edges metre
b Breadth of the beam metre
d Thickness of the beam metre
y Depression produced for ‘M’ kg of load metre
M Load applied (M = 50x10-3) kg

Procedure
The given beam is placed on the two knife edges (A and B) at a distance say 70 cm or 80 cm.
A weight hanger is suspended at the centre (C) of the beam and a pin is fixed vertically on the frame of the
hanger as shown in fig.1.Taking the weight hanger alone as the dead load the tip of the pin just touches the horizontal
cross wire. The readings on the vertical scale are noted. Now the weight is added in steps of 50 grams. Each time
the tip of the pin is made to touch the horizontal cross wire and the readings are noted from the vertical scale of the
microscope. The procedure is followed until the maximum load is reached.

Mean
The same procedure is repeated by decreasing the loads, the respective readings are noted from the vertical
scale of the microscope and are tabulated. From the readings the mean of (M/y) is calculated. The breadth (b) and
the thickness (d) of the beam are measured using screw gauge and vernier calipers respectively. Applying the values
in the given formula, the young’s modulus of the material of the beam can be calculated.

Calculation:

Result
The young’s modulus of the given material of the beam Y= Nm-2.
