A 1/2 bridge Wheatstone circuit configuration (see figure for reference) has two strain gauges with resistance Rg=200Ω and gauge factor Sg=2.4. Both gauges are active, but are located in opposite sides of a beam that experiences the same levels of strain on both sides, but of different sign, when loaded. The circuit is powered with a voltage Vs=15 Volts. And the inactive resistors have resistance R2=R3=150Ω. What is the strain level when the output voltage V0= 0.055 Volts? Neglect the effects of transverse sensitivity. Enter your answer with FOUR (4) decimal places.
