1. A Civil Engineer used 50 m. tape in measuring an inclined distance. The measured length on the slope was recorded to be 528.368 m. long. The difference in elevation between the initial point and the end point was found to be 6.369 m. The 50 m tape is of standard length at a temperature of 28°C and a pull of 8 kg. During the measurement, the temperature reading was 35°C and tape was supported for a full length with an applied pull of 12 kg. Cross sectional area of tape is 0.03 sq. cm., weight of tape is 0.50 kg. Determine the true horizontal distance.
