III - Steps Procedure Cont..
can also use vernier caliper for more accurate values. This will be your “A”in the
shear stress equation.
2. Find the force applied to the metal by using your newton meter. Newton meter
are used to determine forces in newtons. The newton meter is specifically
calibrated spring in a cylindrical container with a hook on the free end of
spring. Affix your newton meter to your sliding object with the hook.
Determine the force by reading the scale of your newton meter. This will be
your “F” in the shear equation.
