Take a beam of rectangular cross section

Measure its dimensions
Put it on two simple supports
Fix a load on it at the center of its length
Measure the deflection caused by the load at the point of application of the load
Repeat this reading at least five times to find the uncertainty of measurement
Increase the load slowly and measure the deflection for each load (only once)
Change the beam with a beam of the same material, length and thickness but of different width.
Repeat steps 3,4,5,7,8
Change the beam with a beam of the same material and thickness but of different width.
Repeat steps 3,4,5,7,8
Plot the deflection vs load for the three beams on the same figure along with the theoretical curves
and discuss the results.
