Young's modulus of elasticity for steel is 207 GN/m?. The strain gauge has a unstrained resistance of 2400 and a gauge factor of 2.20. When the load is applied, the gauge’s resistance changes by 0.0132. Calculate the change in length of the steel beam and the amount of force applied to the beam, Solution: We have ARIR auge factor, r Gauge facto qaate (ARIA)-L (0.013, -s Change inlength a= (ARIAL _ (0.0% = 2.462 10% m ange inleng = Bs 6210 x 10° x2.462x 10° Stress $=
