Apparatus For Verification Of Clarkes Maxwell Reciprocal Theorem

Apparatus consist of a mild steel beam 100cm long and 1.25 cm × 4 mm in cross section with graduations at every 10cm along the length. It should be supported on two knife edge supports 70cm apart with a 30 cm overhang on one side. Reciprocal theorem can be verified by direct measurements of the deflections of various points with the help of dial gauge due to a load placed at the reciprocal points. A dial gauge with 25 mm travel (with a magnetic base) will be supplied with the apparatus. Apparatus will be supplied complete with a supporting stand and a set of weights
