(1) Four strain gauges that are bonded onto a cantilever are connected to a resistive bridge as shown below. The strain is related to the applied force by: e =(6(l-x)/wt^2

E) F. Given that the gauges are placed halfway along the cantilever and the cantilever is subject to a downward force of 0.5 N, use the data given below to calculate the resistance of each strain gauge and the bridge output voltage when Vs= 12 V.
