A 100m steel tape is used to measure the distance of the line and found to be 1529.28m long. During measurement, the tape is supported at the ends under a pull of 10kg and the observed mean temperature is 31°c. The tape is of standard length at 20°C and a tension of 12kg. The cross sectional area of the tape is 0.035cm?. The coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116/°C and the modulus of elasticity of steel is 2.0x106 kg/cm?. The tape weighs 1.5kg. Determine the following: Total correction due to pull/tension Total correction due to sag Correct length of the line
