Apparatus for Measuring Young's Modulus

The Apparatus for Measuring Young's Modulus is used for investigating the elastic deformation of rods of flat geometry, and for determining the modulus of elasticity. It features a strain gauge unit, for determining the deformation of electrically conducting material samples. The gauge is electrically connected to the material sample in such as way that placing of the probes on the sample is determined with a high degree of sensitivity, and displayed with the help of two LEDs.

The bending of the material sample with the weight suspended is measured to an accuracy of 0.01mm, and then modulus of elasticity can then be calculated from the reading for accurate results.

The apparatus is suitable for these experiment topics:

• Elastic deformation of flat bars
