Sorry this isn't really intro to physics, it's high school physics...
I'm investigating the force vs angle of a mouse trap and I need to talk about the uncertainties one thing is that the lever (hammer/arm/part that hits the mouse) bends. So the angle isn't very accurate. What formula do I use to work out how much the steel bends? The rod has a diametre of 1.5mm and is 60mm in length. The material is steel... the steel they use in mouse traps (that's all I know).
Sorry if this is a really simple question, please go easy on me, simple words would be appreciated
Thanks
