3. Observations
-

4. Calculations
a. Graph plot for Shear Force vs. Load
b. Calculation for support reactions (RA and RB) and theoretical shear
force at the cut.
5. Discussions
a. Comment on the shape of the graph. How shear force varies due
to an increased load? Does equation used accurately predict the
behavior of the beam?

b. Comment on how the result of the results of the experiments

compare with those calculated using the theoretical?
