17. A 50-m steel tape is of standard length under a pull of 5.5 kg when supported throughout its entire length. The tape weighs 0.05 kg/m, has a cross- sectional area of 0.04 sq. cm, and being made of steel, its modulus of elasticity is 2.10 x 106 kg/cm². This tape was used in the field to measure a distance that was determined to be 458.650 m. At the time the measurement was made, the constant pull applied was 8 kg with the tape measured supported only at its end points. Determine the correct length of the line.
