Design a full-wave bridge rectifier to supply 12v dc voltage to a resistive load of rl=3ω at the output, assuming an ac supply with 60 hz frequency with the following characteristics: a) unfiltered (without output capacitor) b) filtered. design a filter capacitor so that the ripple factor of the output voltage is less than %5. (you should revise the ac supply vm calculated in (a) to match the 12v requirement.)

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
