Chapter 6, Problem 6.9P
Consider a deflection bridge arrangement as shown in Figure 6.13. Initially all four arms of the bridge are equal to 120 ft. The resistance Ry is a sensor, whose resistance changes with input. The supply voltage to the bridge is 9 V dc. If the resistance R\ changes such that the bridge output is 0.5 V, determine the value of and the current flow through R\.
