A line was found to be 2865.35m long when measured with a 30-m tape under a steady pull of 6.5kg at a mean temperature of 30°C. Determine the correct length of the line if the tape used is of standard length at 20°C under a pull of 5.5kg. Assume the cross-sectional area of the tape to be 0.025cm2, elastic modulus as 2.10x10°kg/cm², and coefficient of thermal expansion to be 11.6x10-/°C.

Question
A line was found to be 2865.35m long when measured with a 30-m tape under a
steady pull of 6.5kg at a mean temperature of 30°C. Determine the correct length of
the line if the tape used is of standard length at 20°C under a pull of 5.5kg. Assume the
cross-sectional area of the tape to be 0.025cm2, elastic modulus as 2.10x10°kg/cm²,
and coefficient of thermal expansion to be 11.6x10-/°C.
