A bathroom scale uses four internal strain gauges to measure the displacement of its diaphragm as a means for determining load. Four active gauges are used in a bridge circuit. The gauge factor is 2, and the gauge resistance is 120 Ω for each gauge. If an applied load to the diaphragm causes a tensile strain on R1 and R4 of 40 x 10-6, while gauges R2 and R3 experience a compressive strain of 40 x 10-6, estimate the bridge deflection voltage. The supply voltage is 5 V. a, b,c or d?

a.400 x 10-6 V

b.600x10-6V

c.800x10-6V

d.1000 x 10-6 V

Acommercial grade cubical freezer, 4 m on a side, has a composite wall consisting of an exterior sheet of 5.0-mm thick plain carbon steel (kst= 60.5 w/m k), an intermediate layer of 100-mm thick polyurethane insulation (kins 0.02 w/m k), and an inner sheet of 5.0- mm thick aluminium alloy (kal polyurethane insulation and both metallic sheets are each characterized by a thermal contact resistance of r 2.5 x 104 m2 k/w.
