A 30-m steel tape weighing 1.45 kg is of standard length under a pull of 5 kg, supported for full length. The tape was used in measuring a line 938.55 m long on smooth level ground under a steady pull of 10 kg. Assuming E = 6. 2.0 x10° kg/cm and the unit weight of steel to be 7.9 x10 3 3 kg/cm, determine the correct length of the line measured. а. 948.1 m b. 938.59 m С. 950 m
