![2. A 50 m. steel tape is of standard length under a pull of 5.5 kg. when supported
throughout its length. The tape weighs 0.05 kg/m, has a cross sectional area of 0.04
sq. cm. This tape was used in the field to measure a distance that was determined to
be 488.65 m. At the time of measurement, the constant pull applied was 8 kg. with
the tape supported only at its endpoints. Determine the correct length of the line.
