SECTION – B
Attempt any five of the following questions: 5 x 10 = 50
- Explain the measurement of low pressure using diaphragm with the help of a diagram.
- A strain gauge is bonded to a beam 0.1m long and has a cross sectional area 4cm². Young's modulus for steel is 207 GN/m². The strain gauge has an unstrained resistance of 240 O and a gauge factor of 2.2. When a load is applied, the resistance of gauge changes by 0.013O. Calculate the change in length of the steel beam and the amount of force applied to the beam.
- Explain why it is essential to use radio frequency telemetry? Compare the salient features of PAM and PCM telemetry techniques.
- Describe the basic components of magnetic tape recorder and application using direct techniques.
