A steel tape of nominal length 200 m with a plumb bob of mass 16 kg attached to it was used to measure a length down a shaft as 160.852 m. The mean temperature during the measurement was 4 C. If the tape was standardized to be 200.0014m under a tension of 115 N at 20" C temperature, determine the correct measured length.
The following data may be used:
Mass of tape = 0.07 kg/m
Cross-sectional area of tape= 10 mm
Coefficient of linear expansion a = 11x 10/°C
Modulus of clasticity = 2x 10° Nmm
Acceleration due to gravity 9.807 m's.
A surveying team used a 100m tape which is of standard length at 32°C in measuring a certain distance and found out that the length of tape have different tension were applied as shown. Let K = 0.0000116 m/°C.

a. What tension must be applied to the tape at a temperature of 32°C so that it would be of standard length?
b. What tension must be applied to the tape at a temperature of 40.6°C so that it would be of standard length?
A 50-m steel tape standardized at 20° was found to be 50.16 m long. This tape was held horizontal to
measure a line from A to B in three segments. The data listed in the following table were recorded.
Apply corrections for tape length and temperature change to determine the correct length of the line.
The coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction of the tape is 0.000116 /unit length/degree
Celsius.
