If the tape was standardized on the flat under a pull of 95 N at 18°C determine the correct
length of the line. Take
Cross-sectional area of the tape
3.35 mm?
Mass of the tape
0.025 kg/m
Coefficient of linear expansion
0.9 × 10° per °C
Young's modulus
14.8 × 10* MN/m?
Mean height of the line above M.S.L.
51.76 m
Radius of earth
6370 km
