A 30-m steel tape measured 29.991m when standardized fully supported under a pull of 5.5 kg at 20 C. The tape weighs 0.04 kg/m, its coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116/1 C, it has a cross-sectional area of 0.04 cm? on which its made of steel, its modulus of elasticity is 2.10 x 10° kg/cem?. This tape was used in the field to measure a distance that was determined to be 471.25 m. At the time the measurement was made, the constant pull applied was 4 kg at 35 C with the tape supported only at its endpoint. Determine the correct length of the line.

4. A 30-m steel tape measured 29.991m when standardized fully supported under a pull of
5.5 kg at 20 °C. The tape weighs 0.04 kg/m, its coefficient of linear expansion is
0.0000116/1 °C, it has a cross-sectional area of 0.04 cm? on which its made of steel, its
modulus of elasticity is 2.10 x 10° kg/cm?. This tape was used in the field to measure a
distance that was determined to be 471.25 m. At the time the measurement was made, the
constant pull applied was 4 kg at 35 C with the tape supported only at its endpoint.
Determine the correct length of the line.
