A 100m tape is of standard length at a temperature of 20°C and a pull of 50N. It was used to measure a distance of 3768.92m. During measurement, the temperature reading was 29°C and the tape was supported at both end with an applied pull of 85N. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 2.8mm 2, the unit weight is 0.13N/m, the modulus of elasticity is 200GPA and the coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116/°C. Determine: a. the total temperature correction b. the total pull correction c. the total sag correction d. the correct distance Problem 3.9 If the measured length in Problem 3.8 is in a sloping ground with an angle of inclination of 5°, determine the total slope correction and the horizontal distance.

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 3.8
A 100m tape is of standard length at a temperature of 20°C and a pull of 50N. It was
used to measure a distance of 3768.92m. During measurement, the temperature
reading was 29°C and the tape was supported at both end with an applied pull of 85N.
The cross-sectional area of the tape is 2.8mm 2, the unit weight is 0.13N/m, the
modulus of elasticity is 200GPA and the coefficient of linear expansion is
0.0000116/°C. Determine:
a. the total temperature correction
b. the total pull correction
c. the total sag correction
d. the correct distance
Problem 3.9
