Description

The long and short sections of the teak wood beam are connected by hinge. A spring balance with adjusting screw mounted at a fixed distance enables one to calculate the bending moment for any load position. Another special attachment with an adjustable screw is also provided. This along with a spring balance and its adjustable screw is used for determining the shear force at the hinge section.
