I have a project to measure young modulus by measuring the deflection of a beam under point mass. I have derived the equation but i am confused to how the end of beam should be placed to obtained best precision. Should it be both clamped end, freely supported end or a mixture of both?
My idea so far is that for both freely supported ends, its disadvantage is the reference point of x=0 might be displaced during deflecton. However, i can't think of the both clamped scenario disadvantages
