    1) The document describes an experiment to examine how bending moment in a beam varies with increasing point loads. Students measured the bending moment at different loads and positions and compared the experimental results to theoretical calculations. 2) The results showed the experimental bending moments were typically lower than theoretical values, possibly due to errors in measurements or readings. However, the experiments confirmed that the bending moment at a cut section equals the algebraic sum of moments from forces on either side, matching the theoretical model. 3) By conducting the experiments, students learned about the relationships between point loads, deflections, and bending moments in beams. Increasing loads led to higher bending moments as expected based on the theoretical relationships and moment diagrams.

    PART 1
    1. Digital Force Display meter read was reads zero with no load.
    2. A hanger with mass 100g was placed to the left of the cut. Digital Force Display data was
    recorded into the table 1. The work was repeated using any masses between 200g and 500g.
    3. Mass that changed into a load in Newton ( multiply by 9.81 ) and the force reading into a
    bending moment (Nm) and used the following expression :
    Bending moment at a cut (Nm) = Displayed Force x 0.125
    4. Theoretical bending moment was calculated in fill into the table 1.

    PART 2
    1. Digital Force Display with meter zero with no load was checked.
    2. Beam with the hangers in any positions and loads as example in Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4
    was carefully load and complete the table 2.
    3. The force reading was into bending moment (Nm) using :
    Bending moment at a cut (Nm) = Displayed Force x 0.125

    4. Support reaction (RA and RB) and theoretical bending moment at the cut was calculated.

    6.0 DISCUSSION

    Part 1
    1. Derive equation 1

    MR = 0 ML = 0

    MR = - W ( x a ) + RBx

    MR ML
    -W ( x a ) + RBx = -RAx
    -W ( x a ) = -RAx RBx
    W ( x a ) = ( RA + RB )x
    SC = W ( L a )
    L
    2. Comment on the shape of the graph. What does it tell you about how bending moment varies due
    to an increased load?
    The result of the bending moment varies due to an increased load is directly proportional. This is
    because when the weight of load is added. The load of weight affects the value of force and the
    value of bending moment. The bending moment will get higher either in theoretical bending or
    experimental bending result but the two of the value slightly different value when calculated and
    sketch on the graph because the theoretical bending is higher than experimental bending moment.

    3. Does the equation you used accurately predict the behavior of the beam?
    Yes. It is because when the weight of load is added, the bending moment of beam will increased
    too and it will deflect when reach the maximum point load


    PART 2
    1. Comment on how the results of the experiments compare with those calculated using the theory.
    The result of the experimental is lower than the theoretical. When applied loads act along a
    beam, an internal bending moment which varies from point along the axis of the beam is
    developed. A bending moment is an internal force that is induced in a restrained structural
    element when external forces are applied. This may be due to some problem that affect our
    experiment :





    1. The readings we take maybe affected by surrounding. This is because the digital force are
    very sensitive and our member group was touched the apparatus during the experiment
    happen. So, the reading has an error value each of them.
    2. There can be error in the practical readings, possible instruments error, reading error since the
    values keep on changing for all the members.
    3. The reading of the distance of load from support not taken accurately.

    2. 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?
    Tests carried out has proved the thesis which states that the moment at a cut section of a beam
    is equal to the algebraic sum of the forces acting to the left or right of the section.

    3. Plot the moment force diagram for load cases in Figure 2, 3 and 4

    4. Comment on the shape of the graph. What does it tell you about how Bending Moment varies
    due to an increased load?
    From the shape of the graph, we know the value of bending moment depend on the location of
    the imposed load were placed. Different value of load will get different value of bending moment
    also and when the load was added, the bending moment value will increased too.


    7.0 CONCLUSION
    By doing this experiment, we able to prove that the theory of the bending moment at the cut section
    either the right or the left and the value of x will be same. Moreover, we will be able to know about
    the relationship between point load deflection and bending moment. The relationships bending moment
    is directly proportional to the point load.
