2.19 A conductive rubber cylindrical cord has a resistance/inch of about 350 2 per inch in its original relaxed state. The resistance increases linearly when it is stretched to about 50% of its original length. This cord is incorporated in a chest band that can go across a patient's chest. Design an instrumentation system such that you can monitor the movement of the patient's chest during breathing maneuvers.
