If you were choosing between two strain gauges, one which has a single resistor in a bridge that varies and one that has two res
istors that vary, one that increases and one which decreases, which would you expect to give a more linear voltage output (that is, a linear function of ‘x’, the position of the potentiometer)?
1 answer:
Answer:
A strain gauge in which only one resistor varies is typically called a quarter bridge arrangement. The one in which 2 resistors vary, is called a half bridge arrangement, where the resistors showing opposite effects are mounted on either side of the flexing body. The figures and relationship between the output voltages and the change in resistance delta_R, is shown in the below diagram:

Answer:
P=361.91 KN
Explanation:
given data:
brackets and head of the screw are made of material with T_fail=120 Mpa
safety factor is F.S=2.5
maximum value of force P=??
<em>solution:</em>
to find the shear stress
T_allow=T_fail/F.S
=120 Mpa/2.5
=48 Mpa
we know that,
V=P
<u>Area for shear head:</u>
A(head)=π×d×t
=π×0.04×0.075
=0.003×πm^2
<u>Area for plate:</u>
A(plate)=π×d×t
=π×0.08×0.03
=0.0024×πm^2
now we have to find shear stress for both head and plate
<u>For head:</u>
T_allow=V/A(head)
48 Mpa=P/0.003×π ..(V=P)
P =48 Mpa×0.003×π
=452.16 KN
<u>For plate:</u>
T_allow=V/A(plate)
48 Mpa=P/0.0024×π ..(V=P)
P =48 Mpa×0.0024×π
=361.91 KN
the boundary load is obtained as the minimum value of force P for all three cases. so the solution is
P=361.91 KN
