A 0.65kg, 50m tape was standardized and supported throughout its whole length and found to be 0.00205m longer at an observed temperature of 31.8°C and a pull of 10KN. This tape was used to measure a 4% grade line which was found to be 662.702m. During measurement, the temperature is 15°C and the tape is suspended under a pull of 20KN. E-200GPa, cross-sectional area of tape is 3mm2 and the coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116m/°C. Compute the true horizontal distance.
