A 100‐ft steel tape standardized at 68° F and supported under a tension of 20 lb, was found to be 100.012ft long. The tape had a cross‐sectional area of 0.0078 in^2 and a weight of 0.0266lb/ft. The ground is on a smooth level grade, thus the tape will be fully supported. Assume a temperature increase of 19°F. Assume thermal coefficient equal to 0.00000645/°F Determine total correction (due to incorrect length and temperature) to be applied to lay out a horizontal distance of 175 ft.
