A jib arm is the horizontal or near-horizontal beam used in many types of cranes to support the load clear of the main support. An archaic spelling is gib. Usually jib arms are attached to a vertical mast or tower or sometimes to an inclined boom. Apparatus contains a jib and crane for experimentation to study the effect of different weight hanged.
