The weight sensor is constructed with a strain gauge placed in one of the 4 “feet" of the car seat. In this position, it detects exactly 1/4 of the weight of the car seat plus the passenger. It consists of a structure that has a pre-assembly length of 1 cm, and a stiffness of 1,000,000 N/m. A metal film strain gauge with a nominal resistance of 10 kN and a gage factor of 2.0 is attached to this structure so that the weight of the car seat causes tensile strain in the strain gauge that is the same magnitude as the strain in the feet. a) If the unloaded length of the "foot" is 1 cm, what is the length when seat is mounted after the installation?
