Experiment 4, Determination of Young's Modulus, Ey Method, using a cantilever ~ Use the hacksaw blade provided as a cantilever - Use a G-clamp to secure it bench (between two pieces of board) toam the work ~ Measure the length | from the support to the centre of the 100 gram mass M attached to is end. ~ Use a suitable method to determine the period of oscillation when the mass is displaced by a small amount and released ~ Repeat for a total of six values of | - Plot a graph of T? against !* and use its gradient to determine E given the equation. T= 16rMS Ebd’ where b is the width of the cantilever and d its thickness ~ Use an appropriate instrument to measure band d.
