A strain gauge sensor with a gauge factor of 8 and resistance of
RA=120 N is used in the bridge as shown in the following
figure (as RA). The values in the figure are Vs= 16 V, and
R1=R2=R3=120N. Noting that the strain gauge has
a temperature coefficient of a=0.001/°C. If the gauge
temperature increases by 1°C, evaluate the error if a tensile
strain of 1800 um/m is applied.
