1. The LC107-10 is a load cell sold byOmega (Data Sheet). Answer thefollowing:a. What is the output of the load cell inVolts and how does it depend on theinput (excitation) voltage - note rangefrom 10V-15V? Comment on why theexcitation voltage matters. Note mv/V isthe output. Multiply this by the excitationvoltage to get the FSO (full scale outputof the sensor).b. Calculate the contribution of errorsfrom each of the following: linearity,hysterisis, repeatability, zero balance(offset).c. What is the worst case temperatureeffect?d. If you had to select hardware thatcould measure the load cell output. Howmany bits would you select to be moreaccurate than the load cell itself?e. What would you gain from having an e. What would you gain from having anamplifier? What if you could amplify theoutput signal to 5V so you could measurewith the arduino - what would theresolution be in terms of the voltage readby the arduino over its ADC bit count? Inother words, how many pounds of forceper bit of the arduino if amplified to 0-5V?
