    How to use "Cantilever" in context?

    The cantilever is a simple and ingenious construction that greatly expands the range of motion of a beam or other support object. The principle consists of suspending the object from a support beam by a small portion of its length. This small portion is then subjected to a force or weight applied at the end farthest from the support beam, and the force or weight is applied in such a way that the object is drawn out so that the supporting beam is longitudinally compressed. The cantilever is a universal construction that is used in a variety of applications, from construction to aircraft design.
