+Please notice that the questions are \underline{\textbf{NOT}} arranged in an increased level of difficulty. Plan your work through the exam. Make sure you include units accordingly in the answer! Use the carrot \texttt{\^} or the double asterix \texttt{**} to indicate an exponent. For example: \(7.5 K/cm^2\) should be written as \texttt{7.5 K/cm\^\:2} or \texttt{7.5 K/cm**2}. \\

+\textbf{Notice} the template for the numbering of the exam questions is: \textbf{Question X} (Y points) [TAG]. The TAG is for our statistical use only. \textbf{You are required to answer on this thesis using the designated boxes.} You fill in your answer in the box marked QX. Make sure you save the PDF on a regular basis. Once finished you upload a copy of the exam where all your answers are filled into the boxes onto the course site in LISAM. Make sure you have filled in your personal data on page 2 accordingly. (You may alternatively print this exam and fill it in using a pencil and then scan/photograph the exam and upload it to LISAM. Valid image formats are JPEG, PNG and PDF.) Only the last uploaded document will be considered as your submission. \newline

+\examsection{Sensor Selection and Operation}
+
+A pressures sensor may be used for measuring pressure and a force transducer may be used to measure the force. Combining the two makes it possible to estimate the area since \(P=\frac{F}{A}\).

+\examtask{SEN}{2} What is the area of a cylinder where the pressure is measured to \(P=30MPa\) and the force is \(F=15kN\)?

+
+\vspace{10mm}
+\tiny{Hint: it is \(A=\frac{F}{P}=\frac{15kN}{30MPa}=\frac{15\times 10^3}{30\times 10^6}=\frac{1}{2\times 10^3} =\frac{1}{2\times 10^3}\times10^4 cm^2\)}
