A resistive strain gauge with a gauge factor of G = 2.0 is cemented on a rectangular steel bar with the elastic modulus E = 87 GPa. The width of the steel bar is 8 cm and its thickness is of 1 cm. The strain gauge has a resistance of 122 Ω when unloaded. If an axial force of 39 kN is applied on the steel bar, determine the change in the resistance of the strain gauge, ∆R, in mΩ

A resistive strain gauge with a gauge factor of G = 2.0 is cemented on a rectangular steel bar with the elastic modulus E = 87 GPa. The width of the steel bar is 8 cm and its
thickness is of 1 cm. The strain gauge has a resistance of 122 Q when unloaded. If an axial force of 39 kN is applied on the steel bar, determine the change in the resistance
of the strain gauge, AR, in mQ.
