hi

when u r talking about strain gauge, then u r talking about determine the strength of the marital, and how it is capable of holding a certain weight. so it will help in determine the size of the cross-section of any shape, in design off course.

both of the 2 Q

By my experience strain gauges are most often used indirectly as a proxy for load or force or pressure particularly for very heavy loads like a tensioner or cable lift or pull or heavy scales etc.
