Math Problem Statement
A resistive force sensor is placed in one leg (R1) of the Wheatstone bridge shown above. The remaining resistors are equal with a resistance of 500Ω. The force sensor resistance with no applied force is 500Ω and its static sensitivity is 0.5 Ω/N. a. If the bridge input voltage is 10VDC, determine the bridge output voltage for applied loads of 100, 200, and 350N. b. If an instrumentation amplifier is used to amplify the bridge output voltage, determine the required gain such that the amplifier output voltage is 3.5V when the applied load is 350N. c. If a INA114 is used as the instrumentation amplifier in part b, find the gain resistor necessary to produce the required gain

V_out = V_in * [(R1 / (R1 + R2)) - (R3 / (R3 + R4))]
R1(F) = 500Ω + (0.5Ω/N * F)
Gain = V_out_amp / V_out
G = 1 + (50000Ω / R_G)
