A strip of high-strength steel has a length of 30 cm and cross section of 1 mm × 20 mm. The modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa, and Poisson’s ratio is 0.27. It is subjected to an axial load of 15,000 N, and it is instrumented with two axial strain gages, with R = 120 Ω and a gage factor of 2.10. These two gages are connected into opposite legs of a Wheatstone bridge (R1 and R3). The two fixed resistors are also 120 Ω, and the supply voltage is 2.5 V. The bridge is adjusted to zerovoltage output before the load is applied. Find the output of the bridge with the load applied.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
