2. A 50 m tape was standardized and was found to be 0.0042 m too long than the standard length at an observed temperature of 58°C and a pull of 15 kilos. The same tape was used to measure a certain distance and was recorded to be 673.92 m long at an observed temperature of 68°C and a pull of 15 kilos. Coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116 m /°C. a) Determine the standard temperature. b) Determine the total correction. c) Determine the true length of the line.
