A method and apparatus for obtaining complete loading on a drill bit at the end of a drill string in a borehole employ at least three rosette strain gauges uniformly disposed on an instrument sub to measure torque and axial force on the sub, two bending moments in mutually perpendicular directions, and two shear forces in mutually perpendicular directions. These measurements are used to obtain torque on bit, weight on bit, two side forces on the bit normal to each other, and two bending moments on the bit normal to each other which, in turn, can be used to control the bit movement.
