To determine

(i)

To determine the bridge constant when bridge configuration consists of 1 active gauge and 2 fixed resistors.

To determine

(ii)

To determine the bridge constant when bridge configuration consists of one active (1) a Poisson gauge (2) gauge and 2 fixed resistors.

To determine

(iii)

To determine the bridge constant when bridge configuration consists of two active (1 and 3) and 2 fixed resistors (3 and 4).

To determine

(iv)

To determine the bridge constant, when bridge configuration consists four active gauges. Gauge 1 and 2 are aligned for uniaxial stress, 3 and 4 are aligned to measure transverse strain.

To determine

(v)

To determine the bridge constant, when bridge configuration consists four active gauges. Gauges 1 and 2 are subjected to equal and opposite strains, 3 and 4 are subjected to equal and opposite strains.
