7.) A steel tape of a nominal length of 30 m was used to check the distance between two offset pegs A1 and A2 on a construction site. The following results were obtained with the tape suspended between A1 and A2. Length recorded on tape A1 23.512 m Heights A2 Temperature 21.50 m 23.50 m 100 N When compared to a 25.000 m baseline, the tape read 24.994 m with 50 N tension applied to it at 15 °C. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 2.0 mm2 and it weighs 4.5 N. Calculate the horizontal length A1 to A2. Tension applied 28 °C
