In general the. 21. value of the modulus of rupture seemn to be independent of thelength of the beam, thuc proving that for all ordinary computa-tions, the ordinary formulas for simple beams of uniform cross-section are sufficiently accurate. In determinin.]; the coefficient of elasticit^r t^Ao methodswill be used, (l) by substituting the value of the deflections inthe equation of the deflection of the elastic curve, and (2) by jderiving the coefficient from the deformation measured in theextreme fibre. The values of the deflections are scaled fromthe plotted deflection curves and the deformations are scaledfrom th:^ curve lying intermediate between the curves for ex-tension of lov;er fibre and contraction of upper fibre. Thedeformations and deflections due to the weight of the beam arenot considered since all readings are taken as zero at the pointof no applied load.
