n the packaging industry, assume that a strain gauge sensor is used to measure the weight of a food package. The strain gauge changes its output DC voltage value whenever some force/weight is applied on it. The food packs weigh between 0.5LB and 15LB. The sensor is calibrated in such a way that it outputs 0V at 1LB applied force/weight. After the calibration, the sensor transfer function is given as 100mv/0.5LB. What is the sensor output DC voltage value if the measured weight is 3 LB?   A. 0.2V   B. -0.2V   C. 0.4V   D. -0.4V In the above question, assume that the sensor can measure from 0LB to 21 LB with an accuracy of Full-scale error.

Question

In the packaging industry, assume that a strain gauge sensor is used to measure the weight of a food package. The strain gauge changes its output DC voltage value whenever some force/weight is applied on it. The food packs weigh between 0.5LB and 15LB. The sensor is calibrated in such a way that it outputs 0V at 1LB applied force/weight. After the calibration, the sensor transfer function is given as 100mv/0.5LB. What is the sensor output DC voltage value if the measured weight is 3 LB?

 

A.

0.2V

 

B.

-0.2V

 

C.

0.4V

 

D.

-0.4V

In the above question, assume that the sensor can measure from 0LB to 21 LB with an accuracy of Full-scale error.

What would be the output sensor output voltage range if a 5LB food pack is weighed?

 

A.

796mV to 804mV

 

B.

996mV to 1004mV

 

C.

1592mV to 1608mV

 

D.

1000mV to 1008mV
