    OBJECTIVE
    To show the shear force 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.
    ABSTRACT
    The purpose of this experiment is find shear force on beam and compare the values with
    algebraic and experimental. Taking a set of weights and measuring the lengths of the points
    and noting it down and them recording the experimental value from sensor , hence from the
    recorded values and can use them in Algebraic sum and then calculate forces . the values
    obtained , can be plotted in on a table . From the table , a bar chart can be obtained to find
    any significance or difference in the values and at last a conclusion on the experiment and
    how accurate it is.
    THEORY/INTRODUCTION
    Due to applied loads on the beam, it develops an internal resisting shear force that at any
    section of beam is equal to the algebraic sum of external forces. Shear force may be defined
    as the algebraic sum of all the external forces either to the left or right of a section.
    To obtain shear force values, we have to take section at various prominent points over the
    beam. Moving from right to left, we find point just to the left of support (there is no use in
    taking section right on the support).

    APPARATUS
    A pair of simple supports, A steel beam with a cut section, a set of weights with several load
    hangers, Measurement apparatus (ruler, caliper, divider, etc).

    PROCEDURES
    1. Connected the digital indicator to the transducer and switched on the indicator.
    2. For stability of the reading, the indicator must be switched on 10 minutes before
    taking readings.
    3. Hung the three load hangers to the beam and noted down the reading of the location
    of the load hangers, i.e. L1, L2 and L3.
    4. Recorded down the indicator readings. Pressed the tare button on the indicator so
    that the reading is zero.
    5. Placed a desired load on each load hanger and recorded the value W1, W2 and W3.
    6. Recorded down the indicator reading. This represents the shear force at the cut
    section.
    7. Removed all loads from the load hangers and repeat step 4 7 for another 5 different
    sets of loading condition.

    CALCULATION
    Below are some Algebric formulas that can be used to calculate the given forces

    To find RB by using equation

    M A =0

    As W1, W2 and W3 = 5 n
    -RB (0.93) + W1 (0.135) + W2 (0.275) + W3 (0.455) = 0

    To find RA by using equation

    F y =0

    M O =0

    RA + RB -W1 W2 W3 = 0

    To find M by using equation

    RA (0.68) W1 (0.68-0.135) W2 (0.68-0.275) W3 (0.68-0.455) M = 0

    To find shear force,V by using equation

    F y =0

    =>RA + V -W1 W2 W3 = 0

    DISCUSSION
    Comparison and difference in the theoretical and experimental is not much ,
    the values are almost same and it can be concluded that the experiment went

    successful without much errors


    The use of shear force diagram is to understand the structural of the system
    and hence any forces acting on the beam can be easily calculated and other factors can
    be also resolved.
    The experiment is very accurate as there is less difference in the values
    compared .For improvement of the experiment that can be done is to use better beam
    on the system and better sensor that can avoid unnecessary readings that could affect
    the values.
    CONCLUSION
    From this experiment we can conclude that it went successful and more accurate
    .Algebraic sum of values and experimental values are almost same and it can be concluded
    that we can use Algebraic sums to figure out the forces in a given system.
