A 50m steel tape is used to measure the distance of the line and found to be 834.25m. During measurement, the tape is supported at the ends and midpoint under a pull of 8 kg and the observed mean temperature is 28 C. The tape is of standard length at 22 °C and a tension of 12 kg. The cross section area of the tape is 0.034cm'. The coefficient of the thermal expansion is 0.0000116/"C and the modulus of elasticity of steel is 2.0x10°kg/cm' the tape weighs 1.4kg. Determine the correct length of the tape. Rules:
