Problem arises when the length of the helping material is not enough to bridge
the distance between supports. Here, cantilever principle comes to our rescue.

Let s understand the principle with pictures.

Principle says that Phatta over ͞support 1͟ and below ͞support 2͟. When

weight is put on the phatta, the support 1 shouldn t go down and support
2 shouldn t allow the phatta to go up at the back. It is clearly being
implemented in the picture below.

The man is putting weight force on the phatta. Phatta is over support 1 and
below support 2.
