. A Geodetic Engineer used a 100 m. tape in measuring a line and recorded to be 1000.05 m long. The tape is too short by 0.025 m at a temperature reading of 32°C and a pull of 10 kg. During measurement, the temperature reading was 41.38°C and the tape was supported at both ends and middle of the tape with an applied pull of 16 kg. Determine the correct distance of the line if the cross sectional area of tape is 0.02 sq. cm. and weighs 0.80 kg.
