1. A 40m steel tape is suspended in the air
between a theodolite and vertical rod, which is
placed exactly at the 40m mark, under a pull of
12.6kg. The slope of the measured line is 2-
degree 55-minutes. The tape weighs 1kg,
standard pull of 8.2kg, cross-sectional area of
0.042cm^2 and E= 2x10^6 kg/cm^2.
a. Determine the correction for sag of the tape
in meter.
b. Determine the horizontal distance between
the theodolite and rod in meters. (Apply 5-
decimal places, for letter B only)
c. What additional pull must be applied to
eliminate the effect of sag?
