1. Answer the following True/False question  a. Metallic expansion thermometers use mechanical motion to determine temperature. b. Resistance thermometers are most appropriate in industrial applications above 600°C. c. Bellows should not be used to measure pressure spans under12 psi because low pressures do not generate enough force. d. Spring balances measure the weight of an object using the elastic displacement method. e.  Strain gauges can convert changes in force into changes in voltage which can then indicate a measurement of force.

1. Answer the following True/False question 

a. Metallic expansion thermometers use mechanical motion to determine temperature.

b. Resistance thermometers are most appropriate in industrial applications above 600°C.

c. Bellows should not be used to measure pressure spans under12 psi because low pressures do not generate enough force.

d. Spring balances measure the weight of an object using the elastic displacement method.
e.  Strain gauges can convert changes in force into changes in voltage which can then indicate a measurement of force.

f. The shorter the shaft, the more torque it exerts.

g. When using an electromagnetic flow meter, when the flow of liquid in the pipe is faster, more voltage is generated.

h. Industries measure many forms of energy including force, torque and flow; all important readings because control actions may be needed based on the result of the measurement.
