Consider the cantilever-beam Wheatstone bridge system that has four strain gages (two in compression and two in tension). Which

of the following statements is not true: (a) the change in resistance in each gage is proportional to the applied force, (b) temperature and torsional effects are automatically compensated for by the bridge, (c) the longitudinal (axial) strain in the beam is proportional to the output voltage of the bridge, (d) a downward force on the beam causes an increase in the resistance of a strain gage placed on its lower (under) side. Final Ans: (d) Compression on a lower side gage causes an increase in its resistance.

Answer:  (b) temperature and torsional effects are automatically compensated for by the bridge,

Explanation:

As can be seen, strain gages 1 and 4 are on top of the beam and strain gages 2 and 3 are on the bottom of

the beam. Therefore strain gages 1 and 4 experience a tensile strain (are stretched) and strain gages 2

and 3 experience a compressive strain. If the relationship between strain and resistance is linear, then

under some load F the changes in resistance will be

R1= R1 + dR1

R4= R4 + dR4

tensile(4)and

R ¢2= R2 -dR2

R ¢3= R3 -dR3

compressive. (5)

when the four strain gages have an equal nominal

resistance (i.e., R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = R) then the deflection method Wheatstone bridge equation reduces to the linear equation

Using known weights, a calibration curve can be established that relates the weight W to the output

voltage on a digital meter Eo,

Eo= a0 + a1W , (4)

where a0 and a1 are some constants. Once an unknown weight is known, an unknown mass or density

a stomp rocket takes 1.5 seconds to reach its maximum height what was the initial velocity and what was the maximum height ?
Zinaida [17]
1) Vf = Vo - gt; Vf = 0 => Vo = gt = 9.8m/s^2 * 1.5s = 14.7 m/s

2) d = Vo*t - gt^2 /2 = 14.7m/s*1.5 - 9.8m/s^2 * (1.5s)^2 / 2 = 11.02 m

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 6 ft from the path and is kept fo
BARSIC [14]

We are given that,

\frac{dx}{dt} = 4ft/s

We need to find \frac{d\theta}{dt} when x=8ft

The equation that relates x and \theta can be written as,

\frac{x}{6} tan\theta

x = 6tan\theta

Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,

\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{dx}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt} = (6sec^2\theta)\cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6sec^2\theta} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}

Replacing the value of the velocity

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6} cos^2\theta (4)^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} cos^2\theta

The value of cos \theta could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to

cos\theta = \frac{6}{10}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} (\frac{6}{10})^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{24}{25}

Search light is rotating at a rate of 0.96rad/s

Which of the below is an example of mimicry that enables prey species avoid predation?
Marta_Voda [28]

b..a harmless organism imitating the look of a harmful organism

Explanation:

A harmless organism imitating the look of a harmful organism is one example of mimicry that enables prey species avoid predation.

Prey are smaller and less harmful organisms often hunted by larger organisms usually carnivores.

Mimicry is a form of evolutionary adaptation process in which two organisms of the same specie or different species tends to look alike.

It is a subtle defense mechanism developed by organism over an extended period of time.
