Problem 10-4: A strain gauge that has a nominal resistance of 350 S, and a gauge factor of 1.8 is mounted in an equal-arm bridge, which is balanced at a zero applied strain condition. The gauge is mounted on a 1 cm² aluminum rod with Em = 70 GPa. The gauge senses axial strain. The bridge output is 1 mVfor a bridge input of 5 V. What is the applied load, assuming that the rod is in uniaxial tension?
