Practise Edexcel A-Level Physics graph plotting and scale with axes, units, sensible scales, plotted points and best-fit lines.
A student investigated the bending of a plastic beam.
The beam, of width w and height h, was supported at either end by two metal rods a distance l apart, as shown.
She applied a force F to the middle of the plastic beam by hanging a mass from it.
The beam bent downwards as shown.
She measured the vertical distance d moved by the middle of the plastic beam and repeated this measurement for increasing values of F.
She recorded her results in a table, as shown.
Using the grid opposite, plot a graph of d on the y-axis against F on the x-axis.
