In a factory, we need to measure, crudely, the weight of the bags of sand up to 61 kg. We have decided to use a section of 1-inch Schedule 80 steel pipe (Do=1.315 inch, Di=0.957 inch and E=195 GPa) as a cantilever beam to accomplish the purpose. We will measure the deflection of the beam with a metal scale having graduations of 6,9x10-2 inches. We think that an uncertainty of 0,7 % at the maximum deflection would be acceptable. What length of steel pipe (in meters) would you recommend us to use in the measurements?

We will measure the deflection of the beam with a metal scale having graduations of 6,9x10-2 inches. We think that an uncertainty of 0,7 % at the maximum deflection would be acceptable. What length of steel pipe (in meters) would you recommend us to use in the measurements?
