Problem 3: When a strain gauge is stretched under uniaxial tension, its resistance varies with the imposed strain. A resistance bridge circuit is used to convert the resistance change into a voltage. Suppose a known tensile loads were applied to the system shown in Figure below and the output measured on a voltmeter. What are the independent and dependent variables in this calibration? Can you suggest any extraneous variables?

A metallic strain gauge produces an electrical resistance change when subjected to mechanical strain. However, engineers don't measure this voltage drop directly using a voltmeter. Why don't we directly measure the voltage drop across the strain gauge, and instead, use a Wheatstone Bridge? Damgraph >
i. If you know that any strain gauge has a sensitivity towards temperature.In other words, any change in the temperature could also affect theresistance value. How can we get a correct reading from strain gaugesand get rid of the temperature effect?ii. In an AC LVDT system, measuring the output voltage alone gives anindication of the displacement from the center, but not the direction ofdisplacement. Explain why, and also explain a method for solving thisproblem.iii. In a vortex flow meter, there are many methods that could be used tomeasure the effect of vortices and measure the flow rate. Explain howvortices could occur in this flow meter, and explain three methods thatcould be used for measuring the effects of vortices in a vortex flowmeter.iv.
