nHere is the experimental and simulation curve:nnAs mentioned before, the experimental curve does not start at zero displacement due to existing weight-holder at the pulley. The force is minimal but not zero. We have not gotten a chance to head back to the lab to re-conduct the experiment to suspend the brace from the ceiling like you suggested hence we can only work with what we have now.nThe real life brace is 3mm in thickness thus the thickness of the brace in the simulation was set to 3mm too.nn
