A strain gauge has a normal resistance of 360Ω and a gauge factor of 2.01. It is used in a quarter bridge with the other fixed resistors being 360s2 and with a supply voltage of 3.0V. The bridge is initially balanced and then the gauge is heated to 300°C without any stress applied.

A 120 Ω strain gauge with a gauge factor of 2 is mounted on a beam and connected in a Wheatstone bridge as shown in Figure Q1a. The bridge is powered by a 12 V DC supply in series with a 510 Ω resistance. The beam is subject to a tensile force, which produces an axial strain of 940 microstrain measured by the strain gauge .a) Under no strain, calculate the current in the strain gauge and the power dissipated by the...
Problem #1 (35 pts.) A solid 5 cm by 5 cm square aluminum rod, with a 70 GPa modulus of elasticity, is stretched by an unknown axial load. The initial rod length is 1 m, and its final length (after applying the axial load) is 1.0005 m. Assume that a strain gauge (with a gauge factor of 2.2) is firmly affixed to the rod, its active axis aligned with the length of the rod. You may assume the strain gauge...
