A steel tape with a coefficient of linear expansion of 0.0000116/1°C is known to be 75-m long at 35°C. The tape was used to measure a line which was found to be 532.28 meters long when the temperature was 48°C. Determine the following: a) Temperature correction per tape length b) Temperature correction for the measured line c) Correct length of the line
